John Terry's disciplinary hearing entered a third day on Wednesday as the Chelsea captain contested allegations he racially abused QPR defender Anton Ferdinand.
Terry returned to the Football Association's Wembley headquarters after leading Chelsea to a 6-0 hammering of Wolves in the Capital One Cup third round.
He was facing the charge of using racist language to Anton Ferdinand during a Premier League game at Loftus Road last October.
The 31-year-old arrived early in the morning to hear evidence in his defence with the case likely to last all week.
A similar hearing involving Liverpool's Luis Suarez last December took four days - and Terry could face a lengthy ban if found guilty of the charge of using racist language, a charge he categorically denies.
The former England captain, who announced his international retirement on the eve of the hearing, is being represented by George Carter-Stephenson QC, who defended him against a similar charge in court two months ago.
Terry was found not guilty in July when he insisted he had only been repeating words he thought Ferdinand had accused him of saying.
