Chelsea boss Di Matteo: Terry ribs okay

Chelsea boss Roberto di Matteo says there's no concerns over John Terry's fitness.

Di Matteo revealed Terry's cracked ribs were now "fine" and played down the effect fatigue could have on his squad.

"Psychologically, it feels much better digesting this amount of games when you're winning," he said.

"That doesn't take away the fact that we're going to play our third game in less than six days.

"I've been using the squad and I will continue to do so because I think that is the only answer, really, to be able to compete in every game."
