Team News: John Terry leads Chelsea for Porto showdown

Jose Mourinho selects a fit-again John Terry for Chelsea's Champions League clash with Porto.

Chelsea captain John Terry has recovered from an ankle injury and takes his place for the Blues' crucial Champions League qualifier with Porto.

Brazilian midfielder Ramires also returns to the side, while Diego Costa is selected up front.

Porto, who have never won in England, are without former Southampton striker Dani Osvaldo, who has a knee problem.

Algerian international Yacine Brahimi leads the line in Osvaldo's absence, and head coach Julen Lopetegui has no other injury concerns.

Chelsea: Courtois; Ivanovic, Zouma, Terry, Azpilicueta; Ramires, Matic; Willian, Oscar, Hazard; Costa
Subs: Begovic, Cahill, Mikel, Kenedy, Fabregas, Pedro, Remy

Porto: Casillas; Maxi, Maicon, Marcano, Indi; Danilo, Imbula, Herrera, Layun, Corona; Brahimi
Subs: Helton, Ruben Neves, Evandro, Varela, Tello, Aboubakar, Bueno
