| Terry what was he saying? |
Chelsea refused to answer questions on the John Terry verdict at their manager's pre-match press conference but Roberto Di Matteo did say he was not worried about the defender losing his cool if selected against Arsenal.
Terry was banned for four matches by the Football Associationon Thursday for using racist language towards Queens Park Rangers defender Anton Ferdinand in October last year.
The Chelsea centre-back is available for Saturday's game at Arsenal as he has yet to decide whether to appeal against the FA's decision, and the club did not want to field any questions on the verdict when Di Matteo addressed the media ahead of Saturday's clash at Emirates Stadium.
The Blues boss did take some footballing questions on Terry, though, and insisted he had no fears about his mental state.
"He's a professional player," Di Matteo said, confirming he had spoken to the 31-year-old. "He's a senior player as well. He's got all the experience in the world."
Di Matteo did admit he felt the Terry case had dragged on for too long, adding: "It's taken a long time and the only thing we can do is just wait and see what happens.
