Chelsea players fail to help John Terry

John Terry's Chelsea teammates have failed to come to his defence over the ongoing racism investigation surrounding the England captain, according to The Mirror.

It is believed that Terry had hoped that the Chelsea squad would come to his aid and help him clear his name, but no offers have been forthcoming.

"There has been no word from [the players]," said a source from within Chelsea. "They've not said anything."

Manager Andre Villas-Boas is the only member of the club that has publicly defended the 30-year-old so far.
