Terry fit for the final?

Premier League Chelsea
comment on the article

According to the BBC website, both Terry and Drogba will be fit for the Final.
However, according to The Times, medical specialists say that Terry's type of injury means that it will be at least 3 weeks before his arm will have regained the strenth to cope with the hustle and tussle that goes on when players are fighting for the ball.

Any news from the Chelsea camp? (unless of course there will be deliberate mis-information given out, right up to the moment the team sheet is handed to the UEFA officials, 30 minutes before kick-off).

Good point about how brave Terry is.I'm a United fan but have a lot of respect for terry. hell, diaby broke his foot kicking him in the head in last year's carling cup final. That's how tough Terry is. But I think Drogba is the total opposite. Again this seems to be a case of a Chelsea player having a genuine injury (Terry) and Drogba yet again limping away with a non-existant injury. What do any Chelsea fans think about his antics? Would you not rather he got on with doing what he does best? scoring goals.

completely agree. it seems like every match he gets "injured" and then he is ok after about 5 minutes. he is a disgrace and i have to say when i see him staying down or feigning injury i am ashamed.

we saw how good he is when he isnt always pretending to be injured like against liverpool, so why does he do it?

now THESE comments are some decent ones! thumbs up guys!
I completely agree with both of you. Although Terry, as England captain, should show a bit more respect towards refs. Now, I'm not saying that United, or any other team for that matter, are any better, but the fact that HE's captain means he's in the spotlight and he ain't doing a very good job at the moment...If you believe what the papers say. parking his car in a disabled spot, for example.
Back to the CL final....I don't think JT is such a big loss caus' you've got Alex who's a very decent CB. whereas if Drogba is REALY injured, then you'll stugle....Anelka hasn't found his feet and Sheva needs a map to find the goal at times..

agree wiyh the terry comment good player strong and brave drogba is a joke tho pretends to be injured all the time or is diving all the time but hey its probably his last game for chelsea so there is good news

We have to buy 3 new strikers in the summer ASAP Pizzaro is off Anelka is to old so is shevchenko Drogba is 100% going to Milan so that leaves us with Anelka and Shevchenko and im sure all chelsea fans will agree with me but that aint an encouraging partnership we need world class strikers i think we need another drogba big, strong, powerful, and a kaka type player to play along side him
---------------------------------------
hey how about kaka

Why would any top striker want to play c25 games a season in front of a tiny crowd of c40,000 when there are other stadias across Europe and in London, that are far bigger.

Until Chelski realise, they'll only draw in players who do it for the money.

Either that or they think it will be difficult to fill the extra seats?? Must be galling to see Old Trafford filled every single match.... with a fan base that could add another 25,000 without blinking...

They are both vital that they play. Its typical of the last 2 seasons that chelsea players keep getting long term injurys and man utd have non. Apparently Chelsea have a large squad, but I dont see it.
