Chelsea Captain Is 50-50 To Feature Against Atletico

John Terry is rated 50-50 to make a shock return from an ankle injury and face Atletico Madrid on Wednesday.

Terry was initially ruled out until the Champions League Final on May 24 by boss Jose Mourinho after he had to hobble off in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final last week.

The Chelsea captain had only tweaked ankle ligaments and was hopeful of returning for the second leg at Stamford Bridge.

He did not train with the first team yesterday, but did do some light running under the guidance of the club’s physio department.

It is understood Mourinho is planning to play Branislav Ivanovic at centre back alongside Gary Cahill – with Cesar Azpilicueta and Ashley Cole the full backs – if Terry cannot make it.
