Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has claimed that he will stay out of any talk regarding a potential return to the England fold for defender John Terry.
The Chelsea captain retired from international duty in September 2012 prior to the Football Association issuing a four-match ban over allegations that the centre-back racially abused Anton Ferdinand during a match against Queens Park Rangers in October 2011.
This week, England manager Sam Allardyce, who replaced Roy Hodgson last month, left the door open for Terry's return, stating that he would consider speaking to the 35-year-old about a potential comeback.
Conte, who left his role as Italy boss to join Chelsea, has insisted that he will not try to influence his player one way or the other.
"I'm a former international team coach so I know this situation and prefer it to be solved between Sam Allardyce and John Terry - that's the right way," Goal.com quotes Conte as saying.
"John Terry has a great attitude during training and is working very hard. I'm very happy with his commitment, but for the international team, it is very important for it to be solved between Sam Allardyce and John Terry."
It has been reported that the defender is not considering coming out of intentional retirement as he intends to focus purely on his club football.
