Antonio Conte says John Terry has not suffered a setback, with Chelsea's captain fit to face Manchester United.

Chelsea captain John Terry is fit to return from an ankle problem in Sunday's Premier League match against Manchester United, head coach Antonio Conte has confirmed.

'Pirlo must partner Pogba'

Terry has not featured for Chelsea since sustaining the injury during September's 2-2 draw at Swansea City.

Reports this week suggested the 35-year-old had suffered a setback in his recovery but Conte denied those claims at a pre-match news conference on Friday.

"John is in good shape. He trained with the team," he said.

"He solved his problem in his ankle. This week he trained very well and he is available for the game.

"Terry is our captain and he is an important player for us."

Conte will make a late decision over Willian's prospects of facing his former boss Jose Mourinho at Stamford Bridge after the winger returned from Brazil on Thursday, following the death of his mother.
