Chelsea legend John Terry has admitted he regrets his treatment of former Chelsea team-mates Mohamed Salah and Kevin De Bruyne.

Asked on the Obi One Podcast whether he could have predicted their rise to becoming two of the league’s greatest-ever players, Terry replied: “Absolutely not, no chance.

“It’s my one disappointment as captain. I softened as the years went on, but when those guys were there I was very disciplined in the group and very strong.

“They probably needed an arm around the shoulder, a sit down and a discussion and maybe I could’ve helped them settle in.

“I’m disappointed in myself as a captain and it’s a regret I have. I wouldn’t have said they would’ve gone to the levels they would’ve gone to, no chance.”
