John Terry looks set to miss out on tonight’s Europa League final, as the Chelsea captain’s ankle injury remains too severe for him to even take a place on the bench. Terry reportedly begged Chelsea boss Rafa Benitez to be given a spot on the bench, but Benitez felt Terry’s fitness did not merit it.

The Daily Mail reports Terry will still lift the trophy, alongside stand-in captain Frank Lampard, in the event Chelsea should win the game. Terry was widely mocked for his decision to appear on the Allianz Arena pitch in full match kit, following last season’s Champions League final victory for Chelsea.

Eden Hazard is also out of tonight's game, while John Obi Mikel remains a doubt.
