Hiddink: Terry contract speculations won't affect his performance

Chelsea manager Guus Hiddink has not noticed a change in
John Terry after his captain revealed he is to leave Stamford
Bridge at the end of the season.

Terry told reporters after Sunday's FA Cup win over MK
Dons that he was not to be offered an extension to his
contract and that his 21-year association with the club
would end this season.

Hiddink stated the door was not closed on Terry after
Chelsea's 0-0 draw at Watford in midweek, which saw Terry
warmly applauded by the travelling support at Vicarage
Road.
Amid fears Chelsea supporters may voice their frustration at
the club's treatment of Terry this Sunday against
Manchester United, Hiddink told reporters: "He was well
received in Watford, They supported him and cheered him.

"I hope we will have a good reaction to this [at Stamford
Bridge]. I don't notice any change [in Terry], firstly he is an
experienced player. He has gone through good things and
storms, which means he is experienced.

"You don't notice anything different with John, he likes to
train and he is having his laughs. I don't notice any
difference.

"We talked about [the contract in the news conference] last
week and there's no updates."

Chelsea welcome United to Stamford Bridge this weekend
following a frustrating stalemate at Watford on Wednesday
where an inspired Heurelho Gomes thwarted the champions.

Hiddink confirmed Falcao and Loic Remy remain out
although Pedro could return after a groin problem.

"The squad is looking okay after midweek," he added. "We
should have had three points but the players have come
back and seem to be fit except Falcao is not in and Remy is
not in.

"The rest are very good. Pedro trained this morning and
we'll see how he reacts but I don't think there will be big
problems."
