Chelsea skipper John Terry enjoys holiday in Dubai during international break
With many of his Chelsea team-mates away on international duty, Terry took the opportunity go on a quick holiday to Dubai with his family.
His Chelsea future may be up in the air, but John Terry has indicated he is not about to let his career make a crash-landing with the defender making the most of the international break in Dubai.
Terry, who retired from England duty in 2012, recently made his 700th appearance for the Blues in the FA Cup defeat by Everton, but his contract is due to expire in the summer.
The 35-year-old has been enjoying some quality time with his family on a brief trip to the UAE but having relaxed poolside earlier in the week, the thrill-seeker took to the skies for a panoramic view of the idyllic surroundings.
The well-earned break in Dubai comes days after a visit to Shanghai in China where he was helping to promote Blues sponsors Yokohama Tyres with a workshop training session at Nanyang High School.
The experienced defender is only too aware of his global cult-figure status to supporters of the west London club, with only Ron Harris, on 795 appearances, and Peter Bonetti, on 729, having played more for the Blues.
But Chelsea fans will wonder if they are seeing the end of an era at Stamford Bridge, with the eight Premier League games remaining this season possibly being Terry's last for the club.
After 21 years, one of the most decorated players in the Blues' history admits he is still in the dark over whether he will be plying his trade elsewhere come the start of the 2016-17 season.
Much may depend on the person Chelsea choose to replace Hiddink at the end of the campaign.
The club's Italian-speaking player liaison officer Gary Staker was spotted talking with Antonio Conte's agent brother ahead of Italy's friendly clash with Spain in Udine on Thursday night, and should the Italy manager take charge of the current Premier League champions, his project may include Terry's undoubted leadership skills.
