Chelsea captain John Terry, his fellow defender Ricardo Carvalho and striker Didier Drogba will be fit for the Champions League final after training today, manager Avram Grant said.

"They trained today so I don't think there is any problem," Grant told a news conference looking forward to the final in Moscow against Manchester United on Wednesday, May 21st.

Chelsea talisman Terry was carried off the pitch after dislocating his elbow during last Sunday's final Premier League game of the season, a 1-1 draw with Bolton Wanderers.

He trained today with his arm strapped. Ivory Coast striker Didier Drogba, who jarred his knee in the game, ran freely as did Carvalho, who missed the Bolton game with a back injury.
