Chelsea woe spurred on return - Terry

John Terry has admitted the meltdown at Chelsea drove his incredible injury comeback as he revealed he was jogging again only two days after knee surgery.

Blues captain Terry earned a shock place in the squad for Tuesday night's FA Cup fifth-round win at Birmingham, less than a fortnight after undergoing a procedure that was expected to sideline him until next month.

The 31-year-old, who was an unused substitute in what was Chelsea's first game since Andre Villas-Boas was sacked as manager, is now targeting a recall in Saturday's Barclays Premier League game against Stoke. He told Chelsea TV: "Once I had the operation I was literally jogging about after two days, which was incredible."
