Desailly tells Terry his time at Chelsea is up

Marcel Desailly believes the time has come for John Terry to leave Chelsea after losing his starting berth under Antonio Conte.

Former Chelsea defender Marcel Desailly has told John Terry that his time at Stamford Bridge is up, before hailing the way the 36-year-old has dealt with his new role.

Terry is no longer an undisputed starter at Chelsea under Antonio Conte, making just five Premier League appearances so far this season.

The centre-back's demise reminds Desailly of his own time at Chelsea and he feels Terry must either call it quits or move on.

"I left because they were faster than me, better than me and it was my time to go - their time to shine - and now it is his time," Desailly told Sportsmail.
