Nemanja Matic says Chelsea skipper John Terry has plenty of years ahead of him in the game.

The 34-year-old Blues captain is entering the final six months of his Chelsea contract, which was extended for a year last summer.

"John is a big player, he's our captain and he deserves everything," Matic told Chelsea TV.

"He's one of the best central defenders in England ever. It's good to have him in the team. I hope he will continue for a few more years like this."
