Conte not concerned about Chelsea ‘warrior’ Terry

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte says he is not too worried about the injury sustained by captain John Terry on Sunday.

The 35-year-old centre-back left the Liberty Stadium on crutches after his side drew 2-2 with Swansea City in the Premier League.

Terry is now a doubt for Friday's clash with Liverpool but Conte suggests his inspiring leader is expected to be ok even if he is forced out for one match.

"I don't know the extent of the injury but tomorrow we will see the situation about his ankle," he said.

"But he is a warrior and I am not worried."

Diego Costa scored twice for the Blues, who fell behind 2-1 after leading in the first half. They now sit second on the table behind Manchester City.
