Conte impressed with Terry but coy on captain's long-term future at Chelsea

"Now that he's not playing, he's helping me a lot in the changing room, to send the right message to the players."

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has praised the job injured captain John Terry has been doing during their nine-game unbeaten Premier League run - but would not be drawn on his long-term future at the club.

Terry, 36, has been absent with a gluteal strain and has missed the last four games of the Blues' winning run, which has seen them move three points clear at the top of the table.
