Chelsea defender Terry out for weeks
英语课
LONDON, Nov. 12 (Xinhua) -- Chelsea manager Di Matteo would breathe a sigh of relief as defender 1 John Terry will only be out for weeks rather than months following a scan on his right knee.
Terry picked up the injury and had to leave the pitch early during Chelsea's 1-1 draw at home to Liverpool in the Premier 2 League at the weekend, during which Terry scored the only goal for Chelsea.
Earlier reports said Terry might be sidelined for months but a Monday statement from the London based club said "MRI scans on John Terry's right knee thankfully show no significant damage to the cruciate ligaments."
"Chelsea Football Club's medical team will conduct further tests over the next two or three days once the swelling 3 has subsided 4 to determine how long John will be out, but it will be a matter of weeks not months," said the statement.
Terry's injury, however, still turned out to be a further blow for Chelsea's short-handed defending line as David Luiz sidelined by tonsilitis and Ashley Cole nursing a hamstring problem.
