'John is a Chelsea player, he's going nowhere' - Conte rules out Terry exit

The Stamford Bridge captain will not be leaving the club during January as he has a role to play, the Italian has confirmed

Antonio Conte has no intention of letting John Terry leave Chelsea during the transfer window, despite reports he could be loaned out.

Terry has been forced to watch much of the 2016-17 campaign from the sidelines as David Luiz, Gary Cahill and Cesar Azpilicueta have occupied the three defensive positions under Conte.

The 36-year-old has only made five appearances in the Premier League and was sent off after being handed a start in the FA Cup win over Peterborough United last weekend.
