LONDON (AFP) - Chelsea captain John Terry is fit to face Huddersfield in Saturday's fifth round FA Cup tie, manager Avram Grant said on Friday.

The England central defender has not featured for Cup-holders Chelsea since going off before half-time in a Premier League match away to capital rivals Arsenal after breaking three bones in his foot on December 16 at the north London club's Emirates Stadium.

Grant said he had been taken aback by the speed of his skipper's recovery, which sees Terry back in contention two weeks ahead of schedule.

"Perhaps he is the bionic man," Grant said. "But he is very strong both mentally and physically. He will be in the squad tomorrow."
