John Terry gives Mauricio Pochettino next Chelsea captain advice amid huge decision

John Terry has had his say on the Chelsea captaincy situation following Cesar Azpilicueta's departure from the club.

Azpilicueta had been the Blues' skipper since 2019 before deciding to join La Liga giants Atletico Madrid as a free agent after the last year of his contract was waived. That now leaves new manager Mauricio Pochettino with a huge decision to make regarding the captain's armband.

Now, Chelsea legend Terry has taken to social media to comment on the situation, arguing that whoever is given the honour needs to be playing week in and week out. Writing on Twitter, the former England international said: "The Captain 100% has to play every week, if your (sic) not playing and performing every week it’s difficult to demand from others if your (sic) not doing it yourself. (Blue heart emoji)."
