Terry starts on bench for Genk match

John Terry started on the bench for Chelsea’s Champions League clash in Genk on the night the Metropolitan Police confirmed they had launched a formal investigation into allegations he racially abused QPR defender Anton Ferdinand.

Blues and England captain Terry, who has protested his innocence, was withdrawn from the limelight for the Group E match at the Cristal Arena, with manager Andre Villas-Boas reverting largely to the team that thrashed the same opponents two weeks earlier.
