Chelsea ‘may be forced to risk Terry’

Fulham want to pip Bolton to the signing of Stoke City striker Cameron Jerome, according to The Sun.

It is claimed that the Whites are competing with Wanderers in an effort to capture the former England Under-21 international, who has scored seven goals this season and is apparently rated at £4m.

The Guardian report that Chelsea’s interim boss Roberto Di Matteo may be forced to risk John Terry despite doubts over the defender’s fitness.

Terry is struggling with a rib injury but with some vital matches approaching, Di Matteo is desperate to include him.

The Italian said: “It all depends on how quick he can heal and the pain level he can sustain. As soon as that is possible to do he will train.”

Meanwhile, The Sun declare that Di Matteo believes he needs to achieve a top-four finish and win the Champions League to be considered a success.
