Antonio Conte is confident John Terry will be fit
to take on Liverpool after the Chelsea captain
suffered an ankle injury in a controversial 2-2
draw at Swansea.
Terry's participation for Liverpool's Premier
League visit to Stamford Bridge on Friday was
thrown into doubt when he pulled up in the
closing stages of the match.
The Chelsea captain reportedly left the Liberty
Stadium on crutches and Conte said more about
Terry's condition would be known on Monday.
"I don't know the extent of the injury but
tomorrow we will see the situation about his
ankle," said Chelsea manager Conte.
"But he is a warrior and I am not worried."
Chelsea dominated before the break to
deservedly lead through Diego Costa's 18th-
minute goal.
But Gylfi Sigurdsson's penalty and Leroy Fer's
disputed goal within a few minutes of each other
saw Swansea take an unlikely lead.
Costa, however, salvaged a point for Chelsea
with a spectacular bicycle kick - despite some
claims of a foul - nine minutes from time, his
fourth goal of the season saving the Blues'
unbeaten record.
"It's very difficult to talk about the game and the
final result because I think Chelsea deserved to
win," said Conte.
"We created a lot of chances to score many
goals, and I think we were dominating the game
when we were leading 1-0.
"But in only two minutes we were losing 2-1.
"For the second goal I think everyone can see
the foul on (Gary) Cahill and there is a big
mistake from the referee.
"I also want to say that this can happen for one
side or the other side. I don't want to complain,
but this is the reality.
"But we had a fantastic reaction, the players
showed we did not want to lose and we tried to
win until the end.
"It is a pity because I think we lost two points
today. Now we must look forward and prepare
the next game."
