Terry out for Ipswich tie

Chelsea will be without captain John Terry for tomorrow’s FA Cup fourth round tie against Ipswich at Stamford Bridge.

Terry has failed to shake off the back spasm he collected in the pre-match warm-up against Stoke last Saturday. John Mikel Obi is suspended.

Also out are Michael Essien and Joe Cole (both knee) but Michael Ballack, who collected a slight knock in training, should be fit. Striker Didier Drogba is also back in the squad after being dropped for their last two games against Southend and Stoke.

Provisional squad: Cech, Cudicini, Hilario, Ferreira, Bosingwa, Alex, Ivanovic, Mancienne, Carvalho, A Cole, Belletti, Kalou, Lampard, Deco, Ballack, Drogba, Anelka, Stoch, Di Santo, Malouda, Mineiro, Bruma, Sawyer.
