Chelsea captain Terry survives X-rated challenge

Chelsea captain John Terry has shaken off a horror stamp from Inter Milan defender Hugo Campagnaro yesterday.

The Italian was shown a straight red card for the horror challenge which left Terry writhing around in agony and sparked a melee between the players.

But having become a peripheral figure at Stamford Bridge after being sidelined by a collision with Luis Suarez at Anfield last season, Terry is desperate to take every opportunity to convince new manager Jose Mourinho that his powers as a defender have not waned.

Terry was treated after the 58th-minute incident but recovered sufficiently to complete 90 minutes.
