Chelsea manager Roberto Di Matteo
claims there is no guarantee John
Terry will start against Liverpool on
Sunday even though his four-match
domestic ban is over.
Central defender Terry was an unused
substitute for Wednesday's Champions
League game against Shakhtar Donetsk
as Di Matteo felt he was not match fit.
He is now competing with David Luiz,
Gary Cahill and Branislav Ivanovic for a
starting spot for the visit of the Reds to
Stamford Bridge.
Di Matteo said: "JT is available for
Sunday and is in a good position to be
involved.
"But I don't think anyone is guaranteed
a starting place. They all have to work
and be fighting for their place in the
team.
"They are all international players and I
have a lot of quality in there at a very
high level.
"David Luiz has played more than the
others but I've been trying to rotate to
keep the team as fresh as possible.
"JT is certainly a fantastic player for us
and will continue to be so. He is our
captain and our leader when he is in
the team."
