John Terry has expressed his regret at not being available for Chelsea this week.

The Blues skipper has been ruled out of Wednesday night's Champions League Round of 16 second leg with Paris Saint-Germain with the hamstring injury that has forced him out of the past five matches.

Terry's future at Chelsea is still under a cloud as he has not yet been offered a new contract and he was depressed at the thought of missing, quite possibly his last chance to experience such a big European night, with his beloved Chelsea trailing the French giants 2-1 on aggregate following the first leg.

"I'm gutted to be missing the PSG game. It's so frustrating missing any game," said Terry.

"But these big Champions League nights at the Bridge are unbelievable and it hurts as a player not to be involved.

"I have thrown everything at my injury trying to get back fit, but sometimes you have to let the injury settle.

"Thankfully, I'm on the mend and I hope to be back soon."
