John Terry Is Back For Chelsea Against Leicester - Antonio Conte
Chelsea skipper has been out since leaving the Liberty Stadium on crutches after the 2-2 draw with Swansea on September 11 but returned to training this week.
Terry suffered strained ligaments in his foot late on in that game and missed Premier League fixtures against Liverpool, Arsenal and Hull, but Conte says he is available to face the champions.
"Yes, he's available. He came back with a training session in the middle of the week," Conte said.
"He's recovered from the injury. I prefer I don't give away the line-up today. I'll try to take the best decision for the team."
However, the Italian did drop a hint that he will continue with a back three, with David Luiz and Gary Cahill likely to continue and Branislav Ivanovic expected to miss out.
"Now I have four central defenders and I have to take the decision for three. One must go on the bench," he said.
