Chelsea captain John Terry is set to return from an ankle injury this weekend after three games out.

According to the Daily Mirror, external, Terry, 34, took part in training with teammates and could make his comeback this weekend against Hull.

Chelsea have suffered two straight defeats in the defenders absence, conceding five goals.

Rob Page: We need to invest in youth both on and off the pitch. Eddie Howe is a no brainer. It's not like we can do any worse?

Glen HARDMAN: Disagree with Terry Butcher. England need the best manager we can get. Can Klopp or Guardiola not communicate with their players?

Ted Clarke: Hiddink for the interim to steady the ship. Then Marcello Lippi (if he would do it!) can't argue with that experience.

Scotland head coach Vern Cotter will return to France with Top 14 outfit Montpellier next summer.

The New Zealander, who led Clermont Auvergne to the Top 14 title in 2010 during an eight-year spell at the club, will replace South African Jake White.

Cotter's spell as Scotland coach will end next June when Glasgow coach Gregor Townsend takes over the national job.

Sam Allardyce is not the first manager to lose his job after only a short spell in charge.

BBC Sport has taken a look at some of those bosses who were dismissed quickly after taking up the job.

Leroy Rosenior? Ten minutes? Surely some mistake?

Well, no. He was appointed as manager of then-League Two club Torquay United in 2007, only for chairman Mike Bateson to agree to immediately sell 51% of the club to a consortium.

The new consortium didn't fancy Rosenior and the first act of the new owners was to relieve him of his duties.
