John Terry signs contract extension

Chelsea defender John Terry signed a one-year extension to his contract on Tuesday.

The veteran captain, who joined the Blues as a youth trainee at the age of 14, was highly instrumental at the heart of the defense last season.

And ahead of next season, the club has deemed it right to retain a defender who has netted 57 goals in 621 appearances.

Speaking after completing his new deal, Terry said: 'I'm delighted to have signed an extension to my contract with Chelsea taking me into my 20th year with the club.

'I'd like to thank the fans and club for their continued support, and the Manager who was instrumental for me the last
season.'

Meanwhile, Eden Hazard, who won the PFA young player of the year award, was named Chelsea player of the 2013/2014 season.

The Belgium international will hope to make an indelible mark at the World Cup tournament this summer.

Chelsea Trio Return For Atletico Clash

It's great news for Chelsea fans as Petr Čech, Eden Hazard , Samuel Eto'o and captain John Terry all trained in Cobhams this morning - ahead of the Champions League second-leg tie against Atletico Madrid.

The Blues travelled to Madrid in the first leg without Eto'o and Hazard, but the team's morale seem boosted as the duo make a return - with prematurely injured Terry deemed fit to start again against Atleti.

However, Cech, due to an injured shoulder, has been ruled out of the team for the rest of the season, according to reports.

Chelsea hope to secure a place in the finals, following the goalless draw at Madrid and considering the 'home advantage', but the Spanish side are no underdogs.

The game is scheduled to hold on Wednesday, April 30, at Stamford Bridge - by 6:45pm (UK time).
