Former Chelsea defender Jason Cundy feels John Terry has been unfairly treated by manager Jose Mourinho.

Mourinho has dropped Terry for recent games.

Cundy told talkSPORT: “Something is bugging me at Chelsea – if you're going to drop John Terry, that's the manager's decision and whether you agree or disagree you have to go with that.

“But to give the armband to Ivanovic, who is having a really tough time at the moment and has arguably been Chelsea's worst player this season, what does that say to the best defender Chelsea had last season in John Terry?

“If you're going to drop him, that's fine, it happens in football, but I think Mourinho is sending out a message.

“John Terry hasn't played badly this season and I think he's been really unfairly treated. I don't think he's played badly enough for him to be on the bench."
