Terry remains Chelsea captain

John Terry will continue to captain Chelsea who have taken "firm disciplinary action" against him, chairman Bruce Buck has confirmed. The former England captain was suspended for four matches and fined £220,000 by the Football Association earlier this month for racially abusing QPR defender Anton Ferdinand. Terry decided this week not to appeal the decision, leaving Chelsea to decide what action of their own to take. Manager Roberto Di Matteo refused to say on Friday whether Terry would remain captain but Buck has confirmed he would and that he would not be given an additional ban by Chelsea, although the club have fined him. Buck said on talkSPORT: "John will continue to be captain of the club. We have taken disciplinary action and we think it is firm disciplinary action and appropriate for the circumstances."
