Chelsea captain John Terry is set to make a remarkable return to action against Huddersfield in the fifth round of the FA Cup.

Terry has stunned manager Avram Grant with his recovery from the fractured foot he suffered against Arsenal in December.

The England skipper is a fortnight ahead of schedule and Grant is happy to welcome him back into the fold.

Grant said: "Perhaps he is the bionic man. But he is very strong both mentally and physically. He will be in the squad tomorrow."
