Terry should make Moscow final May 12 2008
Chelsea captain John Terry is optimistic he will be fit for the UEFA Champions League final despite being carried off in the Premier League clash with Bolton.
Terry was first out of the tunnel to thank the fans for their support with his arm in a sling at the final whistle of Sunday's 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge.
The 27-year-old defender is understood to have suffered a partial dislocation of the elbow but is confident he will be back in time for the Moscow final on May 21.
"It popped back in before I got to hospital and I need three or four days rest but I should be fit for Moscow, fingers crossed," he told Sky Sports.
Terry was disappointed with his side's failure to land the title following Manchester United's 2-0 win over Wigan but has set his sights on lifting the European Cup in 10 days' time.
He added: "I caught the second half of United's game when I got back from hospital and flicked between the two games.
"When Ryan Giggs put the second one in for United I knew that was it but to be fair they have been very good this year.
"We have lots of respect for them. They have been fantastic this season and deserve to be at the top of table where they are.
"We dropped points at crucial stages and that has probably cost us although that should take nothing away from United who have been brilliant.
"But Moscow is a different story and we're aiming to be ready for that one now.
"I am still thoroughly disappointed we have not won the league but the European Cup is one we are missing and the one we all want now."
