LONDON, England -- Chelsea and England captain John Terry could be sidelined for six weeks after scans showed that the defender broke three bones in his foot during Sunday's 1-0 defeat at Arsenal.
Unlucky Terry, watched by Frank Lampard, sinks to his knees after conceding that his match was over.
Terry left the Emirates Stadium on crutches after being forced off after 39 minutes following a challenge by Emmanuel Eboue who later reportedly apologized for the tackle.
"Scans today have revealed that John Terry has fractured three bones in his right foot, including his third metatarsal," said a Chelsea statement on the club's official Web site.
"The initial diagnosis suggests he may be out for six weeks."
Club doctor Bryan English told Chelsea TV on Monday: "An x-ray taken in the Arsenal medical room straight after John Terry left the field didn't show the injury.
"However as is usual with mid-foot injuries the fractures were revealed following scans which were performed this afternoon. John will start his rehabilitation immediately with the Chelsea medical team and we will continue to monitor the injury."
Terry will miss Wednesday's Carling Cup quarterfinal at home to Liverpool and is also poised to miss Premier League games against Blackburn, Aston Villa, Newcastle, Fulham, Tottenham and Birmingham plus the FA Cup third round tie against QPR. E-mail to a friend
