Terry to remain Chelsea Captain
Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti says defender John Terry will remain as club captain despite newspaper revelations about his private life. Terry has been named in the media as allegedly having an affair with the ex-girlfriend of his former Chelsea and England team-mate Wayne Bridge. It has led to calls from former players for him to lose the England captaincy. But he will remain as Chelsea skipper with Ancelotti saying: "There is no discussion about this." Chelsea beat Burnley 2-1 on Saturday thanks to Terry's late goal as the Blues moved four points clear of champions Manchester United at the top of the Premier League. And Ancelotti insists that despite the revelations, Terry has the full support of his club colleagues. "I don't know why you ask me this. The players will never lose their trust in him," said Italian Ancelotti. "I am a manager and only want to speak about his work. He is a fantastic professional. "All the club, the players, management and staff are supporting him and his family at this time." The Football Association has declined to comment on Terry's future as England captain but there is growing pressure on national manager Fabio Capello to strip the 29-year-old of the captain's armband, only four months before the World Cup. Terry had won a gagging order last week preventing the public learning about an alleged affair, but the injunction was lifted by the High Court on Friday.
