Chelsea's John Terry Flies Out To See Italian Specialist To Diagnose Leg Injury
Posted Wednesday, November 17, 2010 by Goal.com
Chelsea captain John Terry has flown out to Italy with the club's doctor in an attempt to clarify a baffling leg injury that could keep the 29-year-old out for months.
The centre-back has struggled with a mystery nerve problem in his right leg and has travelled to see a specialist to diagnose the issue, the BBC reports.
So far no-one has been able to categorise the injury, which has forced the defender to miss England's friendly with France on Wednesday night and early estimates suggest that the defender could be out out for up to two months with surgery scheduled to take place later in the week.
Terry's absence compounds Carlo Ancelotti's defensive headaches, with only one established first team centre-back, Branislav Ivanovic, available.
The Italian fielded three nominal right-backs and one left-back in a makeshift backline that shipped three goals in defeat to Sunderland on Sunday
The Premier League champions have trips to Tottenham and Arsenal coming up in December, in between the visit of Manchester United to Stamford Bridge.
