Terry could miss cup clash

John Terry’s availability for Chelsea’s Capital One Cup third-round clash with Wolves tomorrow remains in doubt this afternoon as he began his Football Association racism hearing.

Blues boss Roberto Di Matteo said on Saturday, “We’ll see”, when asked about the availability of Terry, who denies using a racist slur against Anton Ferdinand.

Di Matteo, who remains without Daniel Sturridge (hamstring), may have planned to rest his captain anyway and confirmed he plans to field some fringe and youth players, which could mean debuts for the likes of Marko Marin and Cesar Azpilicueta and a full debut for Victor Moses.

Provisional squad: Cech, Azpilicueta, Ivanovic, Terry, Cahill, Luiz, Cole, Bertrand, Mikel, Romeu, Lampard, Ramires, Mata, Hazard, Oscar, Moses, Marin, Piazon, Torres, Turnbull.
