Chelsea FC captain John Terry suffered "no significant damage" to his right knee in Sunday's 1-1 draw with Liverpool FC. The 31-year-old is expected to be out "for weeks rather than months" after having a scan on suspected ligament damage on Monday amid fears he faced a lengthy spell out of action. Chelsea's medical team will conduct further tests over the next two or three days once the swelling has subsided to determine how long he will be out.
