Blues consider options as Terry out for ‘weeks’

John Terry yesterday escaped a lengthy injury lay-off after Chelsea confirmed he suffered “no significant damage” to knee ligaments in the Premier League draw with Liverpool on Sunday.

The European champions announced captain Terry would be sidelined for “weeks rather than months” following an MRI scan on the injury that forced him off at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea posted on their official Twitter feed: “MRI Scans reveal no significant damage to John Terry’s cruciate ligaments. He will be out weeks rather than months.”
