Soccer:John Terry looks unlikely to be risked for Chelsea's FA Cup fifth-round tie against Birmingham, despite recovering from the knee injury that has sidelined him for three weeks.

Blues captain Terry only returned to full training yesterday and manager Andre Villas-Boas cast doubt on whether he could play both tomorrow and in Tuesday’s Champions League clash at Napoli.

Ashley Cole (calf) is rated 50-50 for the trip to Italy, Didier Drogba and Salomon Kalou will only be available next week after returning from African Nations Cup duty, but Ramires could return from a knee injury against Birmingham.

Chelsea provisional squad:Cech, Bosingwa, Ivanovic, Luiz, Cahill, Hutchinson, Bertrand, Romeu, Mikel, Essien, Ramires, Lampard, Mata, Malouda, Meireles, Torres, Sturridge, Lukaku, Turnbull.
