The decision was made after Samuel Gigot suffered a serious injury.

Terry can form a new central defensive partnership with Italian Salvatore Bocchetti, who has been in Moscow since 2013.

It’s working with an Italian tactician again after Antonio Conte at Chelsea – and indeed Carrera was assistant manager to Conte at Juventus.

He’ll be an opponent to former Juventus midfielder Marchisio, who signed a two-year contract with Zenit St Petersburg this week.
