Carlo open to JT time off
Carlo Ancelotti is prepared to give John Terry time off to deal with the fallout from recent tabloid revelations about his affair with the girlfriend of former Chelsea team-mate Wayne Bridge. Terry featured in both of Chelsea’s most recent matches – the 2-1 win over Burnley last Saturday and Tuesday’s disappointing 1-1 draw with Hull. "If he needs a holiday I will give him a holiday. It is an issue for me and John Terry, it is not your problem I think,” Ancelotti told journalists after the Hull clash. "The atmosphere in the team is the same. No change,” he added. He also vowed not to allow off field distractions to derail their bid for EPL glory. “Nothing can disturb our concentration in this competition," said Ancelotti. Chelsea currently lead the EPL standings by two points from second placed Manchester United.
