Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has revealed that captain John Terry is available for selection ahead of his team's Premier League clash with Manchester United.

Earlier on Friday, it had been suggested that the defender had suffered a setback in his bid to return to action after failing to make an appearance since injuring his ankle against Swansea City on September 11.

However, Conte has said that Terry is in "good shape" and ready to make his return - should he be picked - when United travel to Stamford Bridge this weekend.

The 47-year-old told reporters: "John is in good shape. He trained with the team. He solved his problem with his ankle. He's available for the game."

Terry has played a total of five times in all competitions this season, while he was named on the bench for the Blues' win over Leicester City last weekend.
