TERRY OUT OF CHELSEA FA CUP MATCH WITH MAN CITY


Chelsea interim manager Guus Hiddnik says legendary captain John Terry will not be fit enough to face Manchester City in Sunday's FA Cup tie at the Bridge
"He will not be fit for this weekend," Hiddink said. "I saw him this morning. He worked with physios, yesterday he was trying a bit on the pitch, but he still has too many problems to be fit for the weekend.
"We have a week [before playing Southampton in the Premier League]. I hope next weekend he will be available. I cannot predict it, and I think we must be a bit cautious with him as well. He likes to be there every day, but we must be careful. Maybe next weekend.
"Of course it's a disappointment because he's the leader of this club and this team. But I'm not going to complain or moan. The guys who are putting their effort in his place have my full confidence, and they have already had a decent performance in Paris."
But Hiddink is not ruling out the possibility that his counterpart could be playing mind games and said: "Whatever my well-respected colleague says he might also have a lot of interest in the FA Cup, so let's see what happens on Sunday. We'll take ourselves and them very seriously."
"I came here in December and we said let's get as soon as possible away from the relegation zone," he said. "We're now climbing the table and that was the first target. The second was to see if we could get into the FA Cup final.
"It's always a bonus if you get a cup. We're not talking about the financial part of it -- the bonus is to win something that's forever remarkable. It would be beautiful for everyone."
