In the talkSPORT program, former Chelsea captain Terry talked about the situation between Arsenal and Chelsea. He said he believed Chelsea had always been a title contender.
Terry said this: "Gabriel's absence will have a great impact on Arsenal, especially when facing these next games. He has shown a very high level on both the defensive and offensive ends this year, and has contributed several goals through set pieces, so his absence has a great impact on the team."
"Even if he only lacks He's been out for a few weeks, but those are two London derbies that he's very familiar with, so his absence is also a huge loss for Arsenal. In a way, I'm happy that they scored two goals away from Sunderland because their defense looks very, very solid in terms of their conceding record."
"Great performance from the two central defenders, plus that. Rice's defense in front of them makes their defense basically impregnable. They performed very well and are currently at the top of the list, but Gabriel's absence will be a huge loss for them, especially in the next few weeks."
When asked whether Chelsea are still real championship contenders, Terry responded: "Listen, I think we always will be until we're completely out of contention. Arsenal have a very busy schedule over the next few weeks with Tottenham at home and Chelsea away, but to be fair Chelsea just need to focus on what they're doing now."
"Chelsea have been a little inconsistent in some games this year and I think in It's inevitable with a lot of young players, but for sure we can get good results in the end. Esteban is an absolute superstar and his performance at his age is unbelievable."
"I'm happy to see the coach taking good care of him. I think the fans and some of us would like to see him get more time at times. Game time, but as a young player, you need to integrate into the team step by step. We will challenge Burnley away from home on the weekend, and the game will start very early. This is a new challenge for Esteban."
"Because he has rarely played such an early game before, so I am eager to see how the coach will arrange it in important games. He is fully capable of handling this situation at this age. It's great that the focus is no longer on Palmer as before. In the past few years, Palmer has been under huge pressure and people expected him to make a difference, score goals and perform well."
"The pressure on him is relieved a little now because of the arrival of Esteban and what it brings. Goal, it's really good and refreshing. When Palmer comes back, it's like signing a new player because he is a top player. The sooner he gets healthy, the stronger our starting lineup and the whole team will be, so we really hope that they can be back in the team as soon as possible and the offense will be very strong."
