He could still lose the job if manager Fabio Capello decides he can no longer perform the role.
England football boss Fabio Capello is expected to hold talks with Terry on Friday.
The Football Association has made it clear the Italian will decide the 29-year-old Chelsea defender's fate.
Capello has been recovering from knee surgery at his holiday home in Switzerland and will return to London on Thursday.

The Blues face Italian side Juventus for the first time in a European competition, when they meet at Stamford Bridge tonight.
The two sides have never met. Chelsea will meet their ex-manager Claudio Ranieri, who was sacked in 2004 by owner Abramovich.
Ranieri did not win any trophy for Chelsea in his four-year stint at Stamfod Bridge. He remains popular with both the team and with Blues fans. Mid-fielder Frank Lampard had nothing but praise for Ranieri.
