Chelsea skipper John Terry has been spending the week in Portugal.

The Daily Mail says Terry, the man at the centre of the storm between the FA and Fabio Capello, has left the country on a mini-break.

The Chelsea defender was given five days off by Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas and is understood to be in a secret hideaway in Portugal with his family.

He is sidelined with a knee injury and will miss tomorrow's game at Everton.
