According to Daily Mail, Chelsea skipper John Terry is going to win the race to return from his ankle injury before the London derby on Saturday evening.
The center-back missed out on Chelsea’s 1-2 loss to Liverpool last Friday, as he strained the ligaments in his left ankle in a 2-2 draw against Swansea City two weeks back.
Antonio Conte thinks that Terry’s organization and leadership was missed when the Italian lost his first game in his new team against Jurgen Klopp.
Chelsea face Leicester City on the 3rd round of the EFL Cup tonight, but Terry won’t be part of the team just yet, Conte told to Chelsea TV.
John is recovering. I saw him outside today [at Cobham] and he is recovering. After this game we’ll see his physical condition.
It’s a big week because we face two very strong teams. Leicester won the title last season and, this season, they’ve shown they are a very good team, also in the Champions League.
Arsenal are a great team that will fight for the title so it’s a big week but we are ready. We know we have to work to improve because I know we can improve a lot, this is important.
While Terry had to see his team lose from the sidelines, Chelsea returnee David Luiz made his second debut for the club and performed personally very well despite the team losing the match.
