Terry hoping for new faces at Chelsea in January

John Terry expects boss Carlo Ancelotti to make the most of the January transfer window and bring in some new faces to bolster the Blues' squad and consolidate their title ambitions.

Chelsea have had a transfer ban suspended pending appeal so will be free to bring players in when the window opens again.

And with the prospect of Didier Drogba, Salomon Kalou, Michael Essien and John Obi Mikel heading to Angola for the African Nations Cup in January, Terry expects Ancelotti and owner Roman Abramovich to discuss some possible signings.

"It's good news about the transfer ban being suspended but we lose four good players to the African Nations Cup in January anyway,'' he told the Sun.
