Essien: Chelsea miss Terry

Chelsea midfielder Michael Essien has insisted that they are missing the talents of John Terry at the back. The England captain has been on the sidelines for a while, however Chelsea have kept five clean sheets in six.

England captain Terry has been out after a surgery to cure a knee problem, which he picked during international break. He is however expected to be back later this month.

"We miss him a little bit," Essien told Sky Sports News. "He's one of the pillars at the back.”

"If we can get him back quickly it would be good. At the moment we are coping very good and playing some good football, so it's good."
