Chelsea captain John Terry's injury is not serious

Reports say Chelsea captain John Terry's injury is not serious to his right knee after being injured in the 1-1 draw with Liverpool on Sunday .

The 31-year-old is expected to be out for a few weeks the club added.
He had a scan on suspected ligament damage on Monday amid fears he faced a lengthy spell out of action.

 

  In matches that Terry featured in this season Chelsea have conceded an average of 1.09 goals a game. In matches without him that figure rises to 2 goals a game.

Terry scored on his return from a four-match ban but was carried off after an accidental collision with Luis Suarez.

Terry's goal came in the 20th minute but a collision with the Liverpool striker on 39 minutes forced him to be stretchered out. He later left Stamford Bridge on crutches with his right knee in a brace.
"Today's MRI scans on John Terry's right knee thankfully show no significant damage to the cruciate ligaments," read a Chelsea statement. 
"Chelsea Football Club's medical team will conduct further tests over the next two or three days once the swelling has subsided to determine how long John will be out, but it will be a matter of weeks not months."
With David Luiz out of action with tonsilitis, Gary Cahill and Branislav Ivanovic are the Blues' only fit centre-backs.
Following his decision not to contest a ban for racially abusing QPR defender Anton Ferdinand during a match in October 2011, Terry was suspended for league matches against Tottenham, Manchester United and Swansea, as well as a League Cup fourth-round tie against Manchester United.
