The best that could happen to John Terry Saturday is that Chelsea beats Blackburn and he is injured. Not badly, just a hamstring strain perhaps.
That way Fabio Capello and the Football Association would not have to make the decision whether to include the England captain in the squad, which the Italian announces Sunday, for the forthcoming friendlies against Spain and Sweden.
Investigations by the F.A. and police into allegations Terry racially abused Anton Ferdinand of Queens Park Rangers are ongoing.
