Chelsea captain John Terry will learn today if he is to be charged with the alleged racial abuse of QPR's Anton Ferdinand.

The CPS will make a statement this afternoon over the alleged comments to the Queens Park Rangers defender while Terry was playing for Chelsea in a Barclays Premier League match at Loftus Road on October 23, says the Mirror.

The news comes days after new footage was handed to prosecutors, who have been considering whether there is enough evidence to bring charges against the footballer.
