Chelsea's Premier League title defence has received a blow with the admission from captain John Terry that he fears a long-term nerve injury in his leg could sideline him for months.
The complaint forced Terry to miss the shock 3-0 home defeat against Sunderland on Sunday, which served to underline the importance of the defender to the Blues' title defence.
Terry admitted that he was no longer able to play with the pain of the injury, which he has battled since the end of last season, and is worried he will now have to take a long-term break in order to fully recover.
Why all of this is happening to us...November = Jinx
bad time for the club Man Utd may over take them soon
Terrible news for them. Most influential chelsea player. They need him a lot
Lampard and Drogba are more important but his a big blow too
