Chelsea skipper John Terry has revealed his "shock" at the transfer ban imposed on the club by FIFA.[LNB]The Blues were found guilty of inducing Gael Kakuta to breach his contract with Lens and will not be able to register any new players during the next two transfer windows until January 2011.[LNB]Terry was ordered by his club not to make any comment on the issue when he spoke in his role as England captain ahead of Saturday's friendly international with Slovenia at Wembley with Chelsea appealing against the ruling. But he was barely able to contain his surprise at the ban when asked for his reaction.[LNB]Terry said: "What is my reaction to the FIFA ban? It was a big shock to me and it is very difficult.[LNB]"But it is difficult for me to talk about it. I have spoken to the club last night and again this morning and they have reiterated that I can't speak about it as they are appealing very strongly.[LNB]"It is something I can't speak about. They are appealing and it's ongoing from there. Until after the appeal has gone in, or another decision has been made, I can't say anything."
