JOHN TERRY is helping Bristol City hotshot Tammy Abraham to mastermind an upset at Burnley today.
Abraham, 19 and on a season’s loan from Chelsea, revealed Blues skipper Terry has been acting as his mentor.
The England Under-21 ace, with 18 goals in 33 games to his name this season, said: “John Terry is a massive role model to so many youngsters and, obviously, he loves the academy.
“He’s always interacting with it and always talking to me as well.
“I think that’s what I need really, because he’ll send me a message saying ‘Get yourself back on the score sheet’ or even if you’re not scoring, to work on your overall game and give 100 per cent every time you’re out there.
“It gives me confidence to know that he is there to support you.”
Under-fire Robins boss Lee Johnson says their Turf Moor trip will be welcome respite from their league struggles.
Johnson is battling to save his job after a run of EIGHT straight defeats has seen City plummet down the Championship table.
