Chelsea captain John Terry has vowed to be fit for the Champions League final despite dislocating his elbow in the 1-1 draw with Bolton at Stamford Bridge.

The point ended the Blues' hopes of snatching the Barclays Premier League title from Manchester United, who won 2-0 at Wigan to finish the season two points clear.

"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" - John Terry

Chelsea's afternoon was rocked by Terry's injury and the England defender is now set to rest his elbow in the hope of being fit to lead the side out against United in Moscow on May 21.

He said: "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."

But coach Avram Grant will leave it to the medical department to decide if Terry will be fit enough to play.

He said: "John did not break his elbow. But we need to wait and see. We will know if he is fit for the final in a few days. I don't want to see the day when John Terry is not confident of being fit. He is strong enough to recover but we will wait and see."

Grant was also concerned about the fitness of Didier Drogba who got a kick on his left knee 10 minutes from time against Bolton.
