Player’s punch broke his hand

Terry, 21, suffered what doctors call a “boxer’s fracture” near the knuckles of his right hand when he punched doorman Trevor Thirlwall, it was claimed.

The former England Under-21 captain’s hand was examined by Chelsea medical officer Dr Neil Fraser the day after he allegedly attacked Mr Thirlwall, 28, at the exclusive Wellington nightclub in central London, on January 4.
