Terry back to lead England
Related Articles
16 January 2007
The England captain had been a major doubt after picking up a knee injury in training last week which forced him to sit out Saturday's 3-0 win over Estonia.
He travelled to Moscow on Monday and, after training Tuesday, was given the all-clear to play in Wednesday's Group E clash. However the Chelsea captain subsequently confirmed he will require a minor operation in the near future.
Terry anticipates he will be out of action for only around a week after surgery.
Such a quick return to action would mirror the impressive recent recovery of England team-mate Michael Owen, who played for Newcastle eight days after undergoing surgery for a groin injury in Germany.
In recent weeks Terry has also been playing through his recovery from a fractured cheekbone thanks to a specially-moulded protective face mask.
