Chelsea captain Terry fit after all for League Cup final
LONDON, Feb 24 (Reuters) - Chelsea captain John Terry will after all play in Sunday's League Cup final against Arsenal after recovering from an ankle injury, the Premier League champions said on Saturday.
Centre back Terry hobbled off in Wednesday's Champions League match at Porto and was later seen using crutches.
The England captain's recovery has surprised the club's medical staff, who had previously told manager Jose Mourinho that he would not be available until next week.

"Today John felt a big improvment in his ankle and requested that the medical department performed a fitness test. On passing this test he was put into a full training session and was able to train fully," club doctor Bryan English told the club Web site (
www.chelseafc.com).
"This rate of recovery has surprised the medical department. I have apologised to Jose for providing him with misleading information."
Chelsea, second in the league behind Manchester United, have struggled with injuries this season and Terry's presence will give them a big boost against London rivals Arsenal.
