Chelsea captain John Terry fit for Wolves FA Cup tie after recovering from ankle injury

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has revealed club captain John Terry will return from injury against Wolves in the fifth round of the FA Cup on Saturday.

Terry missed Sunday's 1-1 draw with Burnley, due to an ankle injury picked up in training, but Conte confirmed his skipper has fully recovered and is in line for a start at Molineux.

"Yes, John Terry is fit," Conte said in his pre-match press conference.

"For this game, he is okay."

The skipper’s return will allow the Italian to reshuffle his pack as a domestic league and cup double remains on the horizon for the west Londoners.
