Terry and Pedro ruled out of Stoke game

John Terry has been ruled out of Chelsea’s game against Stoke this weekend along with Pedro.

Blues skipper Terry is still recovering from a hamstring injury and has not featured since the 5-1 win against Newcastle on 13 February.

Pedro, who also has a hamstring injury, went off after six minutes of the recent win at Southampton.

Both players will be assessed ahead of Wednesday’s Champions League match against Paris St-Germain.

“John is with the physios but also training,” said boss Guus Hiddink.

“He is not fit to start this weekend. We will see how we go for Wednesday.

“He is not (training) with the group yet and Pedro is the same. They have not practiced with the group.”

Hiddink has considered resting Diego Costa ahead of the PSG game but confirmed the striker will start on Saturday.

Stoke, meanwhile, have a number of injury worries ahead of the trip to Stamford Bridge.
