Terry likely to sit out Cup clash

Fri, 17 Feb 09:32:23 2012

John Terry looks unlikely to be risked for Chelsea's FA Cup fifth-round tie against Birmingham, despite recovering from the knee injury that has sidelined him for three weeks.

Blues captain Terry only returned to full training on Thursday and manager Andre Villas-Boas cast doubt on whether he could play both on Saturday and in Tuesday's Champions League clash at Napoli.

Ashley Cole (calf) is rated 50-50 for the trip to Italy, Didier Drogba and Salomon Kalou will only be available in midweek after returning from African Nations Cup duty, but Ramires could return from a knee injury against Birmingham.

  5. I think Cahill is cup-tied so it will be Luiz and­ Ivanovic in the middle again. Even if it is only CL­ Brummies I reckon we will lose.
