​Terry out of Chelsea team for Arsenal clash

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has revealed that an ankle injury will keep club captain John Terry out for a third successive game.

"John is working but he didn't recover for the game against Arsenal," says Conte. "In this case it is important (to listen to) what the player feels and the pain he is in.

"We have three central defenders and it is normal to make a choice. It is a big game between two big rivals and it is important to play a good game. We know we face a good team."
