AVB confident Chelsea can handle losing Terry leadership for Napoli clash

Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Mon, 02/20/2012 - 11:16

Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas insists there's enough leaders in the dressing room to handle the absence of John Terry.

Terry could be forced out of their Champions League clash at Napoli due to injury.

Villas-Boas said: “There are enough characters to lead on the emotional sense. Of course JT is a great leader, gives you an extra emotional push. But at the moment, we’ve had to do without him.

“I think there is still enough emotion without him. If he misses out on Tuesday, then we will miss a top, top player and a player who gives us great defensive stability. It would be a massive loss for us, that’s for sure.”
