Chelsea fear Terry out for 'up to six weeks'</p> <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'></p> LONDON (AFP) - Chelsea captain John Terry could be out for up to six weeks, his club said Monday, after revealing the England centre-half broke three bones in his foot following a clash with Emmanuel Eboue during a 1-0 defeat away to Premier League leaders Arsenal. Terry left the Emirates Stadium here Sunday on crutches after going off before half-time in a hard-fought match. "Scans today (Monday) 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 website, www.chelseafc.com. "The initial diagnosis suggests he may be out for six weeks." Club doctor Bryan English told Chelsea TV: "An x-ray taken in the Arsenal medical room straight after John 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 (Monday) afternoon. "John will start his rehabilitation immediately with the Chelsea medical team and we will continue to monitor the injury." Chelsea striker Salomon Kalou said earlier Monday he'd spoken with fellow Ivory Coast international Eboue after the match and that the Arsenal player had apologised for his role in injuring Terry. "I was saying to Eboue that it was a red card because he did it on purpose - but he denied that. He said he tried to block the ball. He said sorry to John. He didn't mean to do it, but to apologise was a nice thing to do. "John will be a big loss and is very important to the squad. It will be difficult without him but we have the players to do that," Kalou added. Terry is now set to miss Wednesday's League Cup quarter-final against Liverpool and the Premier League matches against Blackburn (on Sunday), Aston Villa (December 26), Newcastle United (December 29), Fulham (Jan 1). Chelsea may yet face further defensive disruption after a spokesman for the Football Asscoiation said Ashley Cole could be punished for an offensive two-fingered salute at Arsenal fans, even though the incident was not mentioned in referee Alan Wiley's match report. England full-back Cole was subjected to persistent verbal abuse from Arsenal supporters in what was his first game back at his old club since his controversial transfer across London last season. He further angered Gunners fans' by making disparaging remarks about the club in his autobiography. Photographs of Cole making his gesture appeared in British newspapers on Monday and the spokesman said: "None of the officials saw the incident. "If an incident is not seen by the officials, it would depend on what evidence is available, whether there's any TV footage, any photographic evidence to be considered." Arsenal's win ensured they stayed top of the Premier League by a point from Manchester United and left Chelsea in third place, six points off the lead.</div></p>
I noticed the game changed right after he left, gallas beat ben haim to the header which cost them the goal. He's a dirty player along with essien and mikel, but fundamental in their defense. I think he got what he deserved after that dirty play he made to hurt fabregas.</p>
I agree that he is dirty. Sneaky as well.</p> But he keeps getting injured every few months. (a bit unlucky I guess)</p>
Sweet Karma. He made a disgusting tackle on Fabregas so we got him back. Tough really. You get as good as you give.</p>
It seems were going to face the renties again in the carling cup semi's....there's plenty of sparks going to fly that match, they want revenge for their terry and we want ours for eboue's injury...nice feeling..lol. . Something else I've noticed, they play most of their starting 11, instead of fielding their young players like Arsenal does, dirty cheating chavs. Also, I just managed to logg onto this site, it was being renovated, looks quite nice, its gonna take a while to get used to it. .
They would have lost if they didn't play their starters. lol Glad you like the new look of the site Art. There are no team forums for soccer right now except the league but we're going to fix that. (in a few days)
