Chelsea manager Roberto Di Matteo has admitted that the team have 'missed' John Terry's influence in the Blues' last few games.
The club captain has been serving a four-match ban after he was found guilty of racially abusing Queens Park Rangers defender Anton Ferdinand in a West London derby last year.
In that time the Champions League winners lost 3-2 to Manchester United in the league and centre-back David Luiz is likely to miss this weekend's match against Swansea City with an injury.
"The other players have done a fantastic job by coming in and playing when they've been in the team but, certainly, JT is a player that we miss," said Di Matteo.
Terry will be eligible to play for Chelsea after this weekend's Premier League meeting with the Swans.
