Jose Mourinho refuses to rule John Terry out of Chelsea’s clash with Tottenham

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho says John Terry could be fit for Sunday's London derby at Tottenham.

Terry was forced off during Tuesday night's Champions League win at Maccabi Tel Aviv with an ankle injury.

Mourinho claimed after the match the 34-year-old was a major doubt for this weekend's Premier League clash.

But he refused to rule out the possibility of his captain featuring against Spurs at his pre-match press conference on Friday.

"I don't want to say that it's impossible that he plays, because maybe he plays and you'll say I was hiding," Mourinho said.

"Today he didn't train but we have a little hope that it's possible."

Midfielder Ramires is a major doubt to face Tottenham having missed the midweek trip to Israel tie with an undisclosed injury.

Cesc Fabregas, though, is fit despite revealing a toe injury after the Maccabi win.
