Chelsea captain John Terry insists that he is fully behind manager Andre Villas-Boas following claims of unrest at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea captain John Terry has insisted that he is "100% behind" manager Andre Villas-Boas.

Reports had suggested that a number of Chelsea's senior players, including Terry, Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba, were unhappy with the Portuguese boss's tactics.

Speculation was fuelled further by Terry and Lampard's failure to celebrate with the manager and other members of the team during yesterday's 2-1 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers.

However, Terry has denied those suggestions, claiming that there are "no problems" at Stamford Bridge.

"I want to make it clear I'm 100% behind the manager. There are no problems behind the scenes," Terry told the London Evening Standard.

"The manager has made it clear the players who want to stay here will be here and the ones who don't can move on. I have seen on the news today that people are saying I didn't celebrate with the manager for the first goal against Wolves but I did.

"I ran over there and I was worried that Wolves were about to restart and take the kickoff and catch us on the break while we were celebrating. I had a quick celebration with him then after the game as well."

Chelsea are currently fourth in the Premier League table.
