John Terry out of Hull City match with ankle injury
Chelsea are in for more misery with captain John Terry being ruled out for 2 more weeks after failing to recover from the ankle injury he had sustained last month which kept him out in the last 3 games. Antonio Conte has confirmed Terry's unavailability, on Friday, ahead of their trip to Hull City.
Chelsea's defence has looked totally out of sorts in the past three matches and a 3-0 drubbing at the hands of Arsenal last Sunday has clearly showed how much they were missing the services of their captain John Terry. The 35-year old returned to the team training two days ago after he seemed to have recovered from an ankle injury he suffered during the match against Swansea City in September.
But, on Friday, Chelsea boss Antonio Conte confirmed that the skipper will not make the trip to Hull City on Saturday.
"No he isn't available because he wasn't recovered from his injury of his ankle. I think we can see him after the international break," Conte said in the pre-match news conference.
Conte also told that midfielder Jon Obi Mikel will also be out of the Saturday's match with a muscle injury.
"We are also without [Jon Obi] Mikel because of a small problem. The others, we have all the players available," he added.
Chelsea currently sit eighth in the points table behind Crystal Palace.
