Terry has been accused of racially insulting the QPR defender in Chelsea's 1-0 defeat at Loftus Road on Sunday and has reached out to both Anton and his brother Rio to no reply, according to ESPNsoccernet.

Both Ferdinand brothers are said to be angry with Terry but are not prepared to comment publicly, ESPNsoccernet claims.

The Football Association is currently investigating the allegations made against Terry, with the brothers' cousin Les Ferdinand calling for a ban if the England captain is found guilty.

Terry denies the allegations and in a statement explained that he reacted angrily to what he thought was a suggestion by the former Sunderland defender that he used a racial slur.
