Chelsea coach Carlo Ancelotti has confirmed captain John Terry is fit to play against Portsmouth in the FA Cup final on Saturday, despite hurting his right foot in a training ground challenge with striker Daniel Sturridge on Wednesday.
Terry has been given the all clear after a scan and returned to training today and Ancelotti has confirmed "he is fit and ready to play on Saturday without problem."
Terry was also delighted with his recovery adding: "I was just running back to goal and Daniel fell on top of me. My foot was caught underneath. I thought it was quite bad initially.
"But once I had the scan, it was just bruising and today there was no problem at all.
"I was delighted when I got the scan results and there was no ligament damage or anything like that. It was just a bit of bruising inside the foot so no problem at all.
"I felt good today, I felt nothing at all, passing the ball or striking the ball. I came straight here to see the doctor and he sent me for a scan straight away. He couldn't tell what it was, it was always going to be a quick scan, nothing serious.
"It was sorted out in a couple of hours but I was a bit scared, I must say. Once I had the scan I didn't wear the boot, it's just protection really.
"The doctor advised me to keep it on. But once I got the scan results I was back in my normal trainer."
Now Ancelotti can forget about Terry's injury and is focus on winning the League and FA Cup double by beating Portsmouth.
"It could be the first time for Chelsea to win the double," added the Italian. "It is a great opportunity.
"It is the most important game. We have to have respect for Portsmouth. They were relegated but they deserve to play in this final after beating Tottenham in the semis. We have to fight against them to win this game.
"Everyone knows how important this competition is. I am happy because the team trained well this week. They are focused - we want to win this cup."
Ancelotti is full of praise for former Blues coach Avram Grant, who will lead Pompey out at Wembley on Saturday.
"Avram Grant is a very good coach. He was here for Chelsea in one year and played in finals with this club and did a very good job this year with Portsmouth," said the Italian. "He worked very hard to take Portsmouth to the final of the cup. It is an opportunity for them to save the season. We have to play against players with strong motivation.
"I did not know before this season how important the FA Cup was for every club.
"I know there have been a lot of surprises in this competition - Leeds beat Manchester United and Reading beat Liverpool. On paper we have more quality and possibility to win but we have to play well to win.
"If Portsmouth play better they could win. I think my players know very well how they have to play this game. For us it is a great opportunity to win the double - the first time for this club and we can do this."
