Chelsea fullback Ashley Cole is fully behind skipper John Terry, it has been revealed.

The Daily Star says Cole will be interviewed by the FA over the Terry race row.

Cole will back his skipper to the hilt as Terry defends himself against the allegations, which are also being investigated by the Metropolitan Police.

But the FA are determined to mount a thorough investigation and will interview players from BOTH sides.

Cole was nearby when Terry is alleged to have aimed vile racist abuse at QPR defender Anton Ferdinand in Sunday's game at Loftus Road.
