Terry: I’ll be ready
JOHN TERRY says he will be fit to lead Chelsea in their Champions League final against Manchester United on May 21 despite dislocating his left elbow in the 1-1 draw with Bolton.
Chelsea captain Terry was carried off on a stretcher after 12 minutes following an accidental aerial collision with Blues keeper Petr Cech and was taken to hospital.[>

But he returned to Stamford Bridge as the second half began and later said: “The arm’s OK, it was a dislocation and they managed to pop it back in before I got to hospital. I’m pleased with that and there’s no break. Three to four days’ rest and it’s going to be OK.”[>

Terry also saluted United’s title win but said: “Moscow’s a different story and we’re aiming for that.”[>

Didier Drogba finished with an ice-pack on his left knee but said: “I’ll be all right for the final.”[>
