Chelsea FC and Middlesbrough FC staff news before tonight's FA Cup battle - Crunchsports.com

Chelsea may possibly again leave John Terry out of the beginning line-up for tonight's day at Middlesbrough in the FA Cup (19:45 GMT). Chelsea interim director Rafael Benitez plans to switch his team, meaning captain Terry may be left on the table for the FA Cup 5th round tie. Benitez is without centre-back Gary Cahill (condition) and right-back Cesar Azpilicueta (knee). Midfielder Oriol Romeu (leg) remains a long-term harm absentee. Fernando Torres might yet again launch front. Middlesbrough boss Tony Mowbray is without Josh McEachran, who's ineligible to play in the FA Cup under the conditions of his loan agreement with Chelsea. Kieron Dyer and new loan signing Sammy Ameobi are generally cup-tied. Opponent Jonathan Woodgate (leg) isn't yet prepared to get back, while Mowbray is likewise without striker Lukas Jutkiewicz (leg). Stuart Parnaby (hamstring), Justin Hoyte (hip) and Julio Arca (toe) remain sidelined.
