Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho says skipper John Terry will play on next season.

Mourinho insists it will not be any time soon while the centre-back is still one of the best defenders in the Premier League.

"He's going to sign a new contract as a player," Mourinho said. "In a couple of weeks or a month we will have a notice for the press conference.

"For the next year at least I see him as a player and I don't think it's right for me to speak about him after that."
