John Terry World Cup dream in Doubt Foot Injury in Training

The Chelsea captain, John Terry has injured his foot in training, raising question marks over his participation in Sunday's FA Cup Final and this summer's World Cup in South Africa. Terry has sustained a "knock" in training and had left for hospital wearing a protective foot for a "precautionary scan" , according to the club. They will receive the scan tomorrow.

Capello will be hoping that the injury is not as bas as feared, given the injury problems he already faced in central defence. Rio Ferdinant, Terry's replacement as captain, has struggled for fitness all season and Ledley King a long-standing knee problem, with concerns over whether he could play several matches in quick successions. Matthew Upson, Jamie Caragher and Michael Dawson are the other alternatives.

Capello figures out whether another of his planned first-choice players, Garreth Barry, will be fit in time to play for the World Cup. If Terry is ruled out of the World Cup it could mean that Bridge may return. Bridge retired from international football after concluding he could not be part of the same squad as the former England captain.



My Opinion

This is a very bad situation for Chelsea and for Terry because Chelsea, as well as Capello, want nothing more than win the World Cup. Terry, on the other hand, is captain of Chelsea and wants to play together with the team. If Chelsea could not go to the World Cup, I would feel very sorry for them. I therefore hope that Terry will recover soon and the scan results will be positive so that they can have success.
