John Terry 'to reject Bournemouth interest to stay at Chelsea'

Chelsea captain John Terry reportedly has no intention of leaving Stamford Bridge on loan amid rumours that Bournemouth are keen to sign him.

The centre-back has had limited minutes on the pitch this season, being restricted to just eight appearances in all competitions, mainly due to injuries.

Manager Antonio Conte has started the 36-year-old on four occasions in the Premier League, and Terry faces a difficult battle to break into a back three consisting of Cesar Azpilicueta, Gary Cahill and David Luiz.

On Tuesday night, reports emerged claiming that Bournemouth have approached Chelsea about a possible loan deal for Terry, but The Telegraph claims that the player wants to remain where he is for the remainder of the season.

The former England captain will serve a one-match ban after his appeal against a red card was rejected by the Football Association.

Terry was sent off in the 67th minute of the Blues' 4-1 victory over Peterborough United in the FA Cup third round on Sunday.
