John
Terry will be available for Chelsea's match with Leicester on Saturday,
according to head coach Antonio Conte.
The Blues skipper has been out since leaving the Liberty stadium on crutches
after the 2-2 draw with Swansea on September 11 but returned to training
this week.
Terry suffered strained ligaments in his foot late on in that game and
missed Premier League fixtures against Liverpool, Arsenal and Hull, but
Conte says he is available to face the champions, live on Sky Sports 1HD.
"Yes, he's available. He came back with a training session in the middle of
the week," Conte said.
"He's recovered from the injury. I prefer I don't give away the line-up
today. I'll try to take the best decision for the team."
Brazilian midfielder Willian will miss the game at Stamford Bridge after
being granted compassionate leave following the passing of his mother.
"For Willian we are very sad because we knew the problem with his mum,"
Conte said.
"We are very sad, we are very close to our player. Our prayers are with him
and his family."
