Terry To Undergo Scan

[middleoftheshed 388]

Chelsea and England captain John Terry will have a scan on his foot injury on Monday.

Terry has been out of action since breaking three bones against Arsenal on 16th December in a challenge with Emmanuel Eboue.

The centre-back admitted on Saturday the deadline of being fit to play for England against Switzerland, Fabio Capello's first match in charge, early next month is a "small target".

The defender reiterated that prognosis on Sky Sports on Sunday, adding he is likely to have a clearer picture after another check on how his injury is healing.

Asked when he expects to be playing again, he said: "I am hoping two or three weeks.

"I have my scan tomorrow morning."

just don't rush him.. carvalho and alex have been pretty good..

I mentioned before that he could return for the Liverpool game on 9th Feb....then theres a break of about 2 weeks until we play Olympiakos in the C/L before traveling to three point lane on 23rd Feb.

We have the luxury now of not having to rush him back, now that we have ample cover at the back.....let him heal fully and have the extra 2 weeks off to recouperte for the final push of the season....by then we will have everyone back from the ACON and we'll see what sort of position we are in to challenge for the title.

Still dont think we'll do it..........but........stranger things have happened.

Chelsea captain John Terry's recuperation from a broken foot has progressed so well he hopes to be playing again before the end of the month.

Well that would be a massive bonus for us. Although missing JT hasn't been as big of an issue this time around. Mainly due to the form of Alex for us. But we need our captain back as soon as possible and for him to get over his recent injury jinx.

At least we have sufficient cover for him this season, will be good to see him back, but there is no need for him to rush back this time.

Hopefully he will be fully recovered before he returns, the last thing we want is him rushing back and getting injured again.
