John Terry, Branislav Ivanovic and Willian back for Chelsea

LONDON -- Chelsea head coach Antonio Conte has confirmed that John Terry and Branislav Ivanovic are both fit to face West Ham in the EFL Cup fifth round on Wednesday, while Willian is also available again after compassionate leave.

Terry has not featured for more than five weeks since straining ankle ligaments in the final minute of Chelsea's 2-2 draw with Swansea City at the Liberty Stadium last month, though the 35-year-old has been on the bench for the last two matches against Leicester City and Manchester United.

Ivanovic has also been absent due to a knock picked up on international duty with Serbia while Willian was granted permission to fly back to Brazil to attend the funeral of his mother, who passed away during the break after a lengthy battle with cancer.
