Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti is willing to give captain John Terry time away from the team if he needs to sort out issues regarding his private life.
Terry, a married father-of-two, is facing intense media scrutiny after a report that he allegedly had a relationship with former teammate Wayne Bridge's ex-partner Vanessa Perroncel.
Ancelotti said Tuesday that if Terry "needs a holiday I will give him a holiday. If he doesn't need a holiday then he will play against Cardiff."
That FA Cup fifth-round match against second-tier Cardiff on Feb. 13 is seen as the most likely match Terry could miss.
The Premier League leaders host third-place Arsenal in a crucial match on Sunday, with a trip to Everton the following Wednesday.
