| Chelsea captain John Terry is shown a red card by referee Cuneyt Cakir during their Champions League defeat of Barcelona. |
Terry missed last season’s Champions League final win over Bayern Munich after being given a three-match suspension for violent conduct, following his straight red card in the second-leg of the Blues’ semi-final against Barcelona.
But Uefa have now cut the ban to two games, the second of which will be Chelsea’s Super League match against Atletico Madrid on August 31, allowing the 31-year-old to be available for his side’s first Champions League group game as they aim to defend their title.
