Champions League final: I will be fit, says Terry
Published Date:

Chelsea captain John Terry is adamant he will be fit for the Champions League final after dislocating his elbow in the 1-1 draw with Bolton at Stamford Bridge yesterday.
Substitute Andriy Shevchenko put Chelsea in front in the 62nd minute but an added-time equaliser from Matthew Taylor meant the league crown stayed at Old Trafford.
But Chelsea's afternoon was rocked by Terry's injury and the England defender is now set to rest his elbow in the hope of being fit to lead the side out against United in Moscow on May 21.
Terry, with his arm in a sling, was first out of the tunnel to thank the fans for their support at the end of the game.
He is understood to have suffered a partial dislocation of the elbow but is confident he will be fit.
"It popped back in before I got to hospital and I need three or four days rest but I should be fit for Moscow, fingers crossed," said Terry.
