John Terry will be missing next Friday’s clash against Liverpool due to an ankle ligament damage, as today’s scan confirmed he will be out for ten days, Chelsea have confirmed.
Terry suffered a bad-looking ankle injury on the final minutes of the match in Sunday’s 2-2 draw at Swansea, and the Blues skipper was forced to leave the Liberty Stadium with crutches.
Blues boss Antonio Conte was expecting to be clear of Terry’s situation already yesterday, but the scan was delayed for today (Tuesday), as the Chelsea medicals had to wait on the ankle’s swelling to go down.
It’s expected that Chelsea’s newly re-signed David Luiz could be the man to replace Terry against Jurgen Klopp’s side and perform his second debut for the West London club this week.
Marcos Alonso, who was also a deadline day signing this summer, is capable of playing as a center-back, but is preferred to be chosen into a full-back’s role.
