February Should Be an Interesting Month for Chelsea FC

January has seen Chelsea advance into the fifth round of the FA cup and retain their fourth-place position in the league.

The transfer window is soon coming to a close, which could see the signing of Kevin De Bruyne completed, with a loan back to Genk until the end of the season.

After the recent 1-0 victory over QPR, there are some questions to be asked as to what will go on in the month of February.

First off, the John Terry case involving a racial slur towards Anton Ferdinand on the 31st that could see Chelsea lose their captain for a few weeks, and the possibility of Terry being banned from the national team.

Either way, judging by the results of the Luis Suarez case, Terry is in for an interesting trial and the few weeks following.

Injuries: Chelsea first suffered a major blow when Lampard had to be taken off for a calf muscle tear, which dramatically impacted a very lackluster Chelsea performance. Ramires has also been taken off early—what is pronounced as medial ligament damage and resulting in three to four weeks out of action. 

Chelsea will host Manchester United on February 5th—a game that could possibly predict Chelsea's position at the end of the season. If Terry is suspended and Lampard and Ramires are still injured, then Chelsea could have an extremely hard time finding the three points at home.

Who would be captain?

Is there anyone to match Ramires' amount of interceptions and possession of the ball?

Will someone be able to step up and make a game changing play?

Please leave comments with answers to these questions or post new questions based on the situation that Chelsea could possibly be in come February.
