Antonio Conte: 'John Terry fit to return'

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has revealed that John Terry is fit to return to action following a foot injury.

The Blues skipper has been out of action since damaging ligaments in his foot during Chelsea's 2-2 draw with Swansea City on September 11.

The problem forced the centre-back to miss Premier League games against Liverpool, Arsenal and Hull City, but Conte has declared the 35-year-old "available" ahead of Saturday's clash with Leicester City.

"Yes, he's available. He came back with a training session in the middle of the week. He's recovered from the injury. I prefer I don't give away the lineup today. I'll try to take the best decision for the team," Conte told reporters.

Terry has made five appearances for Chelsea in all competitions this season.
