Terry back for Chelsea - and Zouma to follow

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte is set to recall John Terry for their clash with Hull City.

The London Evening Standard says Terry trained with the squad yesterday and is ready to return for the trip to Hull as Conte looks to find a solution to their problems.

Chelsea have slumped to back-to-back Premier League defeats against Liverpool and Arsenal, with their captain on the sidelines because of an ankle ligament injury.

They have conceded five goals in those matches, with bad defensive errors costing them dearly — especially in the 3-0 defeat against Arsenal at the Emirates last weekend.

Meanwhile, Chelsea's defensive options may be further boosted by the return of Kurt Zouma next month from a serious knee injury.
