Allardyce names his first squad on Sunday for the World Cup qualifier in Slovakia.

While Terry remains a big England supporter, he has no desire to play for his country again after quitting four years ago.

He wants to concentrate on his Chelsea career after being given a one-year contract by new boss Antonio Conte.

Conte, though, has urged Terry and Allardyce to get together and discuss the issue.

He said: "I am a former coach of a national team and I can tell in this situation it's better if Sam Allardyce and John Terry solve it."

But Blues legend Frank Leboeuf says even giving JT a new Chelsea deal was a mistake as Conte should have binned him to make way for fresh talent.

The French World Cup-winner, who made more than 200 appearances for the Stamford Bridge outfit  from 1996-2001, said: “Getting rid of a legend like Terry is always hard for a club.

“But it is compulsory if you want to be successful.”
