Chelsea's John Terry has thanked the club's fans for their support after allegations about his private life cost him the England captaincy.

England manager Fabio Capello took a matter of minutes last week to tell Terry his time as captain of the national side was at an end following the central defender's alleged affair with the then-girlfriend of former Chelsea teammate Wayne Bridge.

But the 29-year-old Terry remains the captain of Chelsea, where he has the backing of manager Carlo Ancelotti.

Terry has not so far commented publicly about his alleged infidelity, but has thanked Chelsea fans for how they have treated him over the last week.

Chelsea has returned to the top of the Premier League table after beating Arsenal 2-0 on the weekend.
