Terry has not made a league start for Chelsea since November and many expected him to be in contention to start against Manchester City as Victor Moses was ruled out of the match with an injury. But Conte thought otherwise as Kurt Zouma played as the third centre back and Cesar Azpilicueta was employed in a wing back role.

It was a clear sign that Terry has fallen way down the pecking order and must leave his beloved team if he wants to extend his playing career. Unless one of Chelsea's defenders are injured, the former England captain will find it tough to get another start for the Blues in what may be his final season with the club.

He may stay at the club if he retires and take up a coaching role in the academy.
