John Terry hopes to play in the FA Cup final on Saturday after a scan showed no broken bone in his right foot. Chelsea look for their first ever double, all they have to do is beat Portsmouth.
The Chelsea skipper hurt his foot in training on Wednesday morning, leading to fears that he may have broken a metatarsal, but a scan has revealed no major problem. Terry said in a statement: “I took a slight knock in training but with such an important match on Saturday the right course of action was to put a protective boot on my right foot and have a CT scan.
Its top v bottom, Chelsea are obvious favourites and on paper this should be a no contest. On-loan Portsmouth midfielder Jamie O’Hara will decide with manager Avram Grant whether to play in the FA Cup final against Chelsea on Saturday. The Tottenham man would ordinarily be told to rest for eight weeks because of two stress fractures in his lower back.

Who will wear blue? After a toss of a coin, it was Chelsea who won and will wear their home strip, in the home dressing room. No omens there, but really you can’t see past Chelsea, no long write ups needed it is a Chelsea win and an easy one at that in my view.
Role Up For The £10 Million FA Cup Final!
William Hill are expecting industry turnover of ten million pounds plus for the FA Cup final as the Big punters are expected to come steaming in for 1/6 favourites Chelsea. “On paper the game is a mismatch but we think our high rollers will come steaming in for Chelsea to bolster their World Cup betting accounts,” said Hill’s spokesman Rupert Adams.
One Hills punter from Hampshire stands to win £3000 should Portsmouth win, having backed them at 150/1 with £20 early on in the tournament but it is the Chelsea double that Hills fear with some massive liabilities.
