John Terry insists he is fully focused on his football despite the FA investigation and claims he is in a 'great state of mind'.
The Chelsea skipper was speaking to the media for the first time since an investigation began into comments he allegedly made towards QPR defender Anton Ferdinand.
Having sat out England's win over world champions Spain, Terry will return to captain the team in the friendly clash with Sweden on Tuesday and is ready for the challenge.
The defender added: "I'm in a great state of mind and focused on training. From my point of view, nothing's changed at all."
Terry's form has also been questioned in some quarters and the centre back feels he 'can't take things lightly' and that he needs to continue to prove his worth.
He added: "Every game we all feel we are playing for our places. I don't feel undroppable - I've never thought that with England or Chelsea."
