Chelsea fans notice what Millie Bright did after FA Cup win and make John Terry comparison

Chelsea fans were some of the first to notice what defender Millie Bright did after their FA Cup final victory at Wembley Stadium as comparisons were made to former club captain John Terry.

The defender played no part in the slender 1-0 win over Manchester United as she's currently side-lined through injury. She could be seen pitch side during the game still on crutches to nurse the knee injury that has kept her out since the Champions League quarter-final first leg against Lyon.

However, when the final whistle blew in the capital Bright was in full kit without her crutches to join in the celebrations as she lifted the trophy for Chelsea alongside Magdalena Eriksson. Fans were quick to note on social media Terry did a similar thing when he missed the Champions League final in 2012 through suspension.

The former captain changed into his full kit after they beat Bayern Munich on penalties. It has since emerged it wasn't Terry's decision to change but the moment became infamous, nonetheless.

On Bright doing a similar thing on Sunday, @Kyle_thornton23 tweeted: "Did anyone notice Millie Bright’s done a John Terry?"

@sleepyjaffa added: "I love her, but Millie Bright pulling a John Terry putting on the kit for the trophy has sent me."

@adamodriscoll shared: "Millie Bright going full John Terry for the trophy celebration."

@WeedonsWorld said: "Hilarious to see Millie Bright in full kit doing a John Terry at the end if the FA Cup final."

The latest update on Bright's fitness from manager Emma Hayes came after their Women's Super League victory over Liverpool at the beginning of the month. The Blues boss admitted she's doubtful the defender will feature again this season but didn't rule out her returning in time for the World Cup this summer.

Hayes said earlier this month: "No. I don’t know when she’ll be back. Slim chances in the next couple of week - if at all for the rest of the season. She’ll make the World Cup, I’m sure of that."
