Chelsea captain John Terry is reportedly jeopardising his role as England skipper, it has been revealed.

The Daily Mail says Terry is seriously jeopardising his dual role as the captain of England and Chelsea as senior Football Association officials are growing increasingly concerned about him and his off-field activities.

The centre back, who skippered Chelsea to a 1-1 draw at West Ham yesterday, has an estimated fortune worth £17million thanks to his £170,000-a-week salary.

Yet he started the day at the centre of further unsavoury newspaper revelations as he was exposed for organising a secret tour of Chelsea's training ground, apparently in exchange for a £10,000 cash payment that was made in the staff canteen while manager Carlo Ancelotti was dining at a nearby table.

Despite issuing a formal denial of any impropriety, it is understood that privately, Chelsea are distinctly unimpressed, while the FA have expressed concern over Terry's newspaper column deal with The Sun and suggestions that he has gone against the wishes of England manager Fabio Capello and booked his family into Sun City for the World Cup.
