He was OK. He has been training today. He is in the squad,&rdquo; Benitez said. Speaking on Thursday, Terry said he had been encouraged by his performance in the under-21s match.u00a0&ldquo;I have come through all right,&rdquo; Terry told Chelsea TV. &ldquo;Initially I was going to play between 30 and 45 (minutes), so I managed to get through the first half and the knee feels totally fine, which is the main thing. It has been a frustrating two months, really,&rdquo; he added. The European champions go into the game in fourth place, 14 points behind leaders Manchester United and seven points below second-place Manchester City but with a game in hand.u00a0 Today&rsquo;s Matches Stoke City vs Chelsea Reading vs West Bromwich Sunderland vs West Ham Norwich vs Newcastle United Fulham vs Wigan Athletic Everton vs Swansea City Aston Villa vs Southamptonu00a0
