Terry unworried by card tally

John Terry insists he will not be worried about a potential suspension when he leads Chelsea out to face Liverpool in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final tonight.

If Terry is booked at Anfield he will be banned for the second leg at Stamford Bridge next week, but he maintains he will stick to his usual style of play.

“I know I am one yellow card away from a ban but I will handle that just the same as I did in the last game against Juventus when it was the same situation,” said Terry.

“If there’s a ball to be won, I’ll go and win it. You can’t go into the game thinking any other way.

“But I’m hoping, obviously, not to make a bad tackle. I expect we will see an English-style match, with us trying our hardest hoping to score, while they will have their fans behind them.

“Hopefully the referee (Claus Bo Larsen) is very lenient both ways and we can get on with the match.”
