John Terry has been ruled out of Chelsea’s FA Cup tie against Ipswich on Saturday after the latest in a long line of back injuries.
The Chelsea and England captain suffered a spasm in his back during the warm-up for last Saturday’s league match against Stoke and what was initially thought to be a minor problem has lingered.
John Mikel Obi will also miss the fourth round match, the Nigerian midfielder being suspended, but Didier Drogba is back in Luiz Felipe Scolari’s squad after being dropped for Chelsea’s last two matches.
