Chelsea skipper Terry's determination to 'front up' for QPR may've wrecked knee

Chelsea skipper John Terry may have aggravated his knee injury by playing in their game with QPR.

Chelsea captain Terry was desperate to play in the FA Cup tie at Queens Park Rangers last month and not to be accused of ducking the potentially fiery rematch against Anton Ferdinand, the man he's accused of racially abusing during a match last October, says the Mirror.

But it is believed Terry’s determination to ‘front up’ may have caused a setback in his recovery from the knee injury.

The centre-half has often said he is willing to put his body on the line for the sake of his club, yet he has since missed the draws at Swansea and against Manchester United.

I absolutely detest arse holes who leave messages without a name. I'm glad I don't live in England. You are guilty until proven innocent. You can lose your status and position on your country's team without a trial. Newspapers can run any articles about you fact or fiction. And your accuser hasn't even filed charges against you? What country!!
