Chelsea head coach Carlo Ancelotti has offered his support to Blues captain John Terry following damaging stories about his private life in the weekend newspapers.

Terry shrugged off the problems to head home a crucial winner in the 2-1 victory at Burnley, with Ancelotti preferring to focus on on-field matters.

He said: "There is no discussion about this (the Chelsea captaincy). I don't know why you ask me this. The players will never lose their trust in him.

"It was a good moment for Terry on the pitch, but he also played well against Birmingham in midweek.

"I did not speak with him. It wasn't necessary because he did well in training yesterday. It was not in my mind he wouldn't play.

"I do not want to talk about his personal life. He is doing his job very well, every day, every training session. For this reason I am not worried.

"The professionalism of John Terry improves the image of the club. I am a manager and only want to speak about his work. He is a fantastic professional.

"All the club, the players, management and staff are supporting him and his family at this time."
