JOHN TERRY is ready to play for Chelsea on Sunday, according to Antonio Conte.
John Terry is ready to return for Chelsea on Sunday
The Chelsea captain has been out injured but should return to face Peterborough in the FA Cup Third Round.
Terry was first injured against Swansea in September but featured twice since then before suffering another knock.
His last appearance came as a late substitute in the 5-0 win over Everton after playing 90 minutes in the EFL Cup against West Ham.

But Conte is ready to bring the 36-year-old back in tomorrow and could play him alongside Kurt Zouma.
“John Terry is in a good shape and is ready to start to play,” said Conte.
“He is doing great work on the pitch and outside of the pitch and it is important to underline this.”

Chelsea’s winning run came to an end at 13 on Wednesday night as Tottenham beat them 2-0 at White Hart Lane.
But Chelsea remain five points clear in the Premier League.
Terry’s future, however, is uncertain with his contract up in the summer and a number of defenders being linked with a move to Stamford Bridge.
