Chelsea boss Mourinho: Terry will start tonight

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has announced John Terry will start tonight against Champions League opponents Atletico Madrid.

Terry has shaken off an ankle injury to make the starting XI.

Mourinho said: "Of course he will start. I think he deserves more than the Champions League has given him up to now.

"He lost a few semi-finals in special circumstances. He lost the final also in special circumstances.

"He won a final in special circumstances because he couldn't play. I think the Champions League owes him something."
