John Terry POSSIBLE out of The World Cup - Metatarsal Injury

[StefanWolves]

A big blow is this, but England have good players to come in for him, e.g. Ledley King and Michael Dawson.

Hope it isn't a metatarsal injury though...

I hope he's okay but like you say, we're fortunate to have decent alternatives. It'll still be a big blow to the squad as a whole though. Terry's been playing even better imho than before all his personal problems got discussed in the papers.

I think SSN are just making a big deal out of it as always. Chelsea's statement on their website states IT IS PRECAUTIONARY measure to have the scan - and that he was WALKING FREELY in a protective boot as he left Chelsea's training ground.

Seems like SSN are blowing things out of all proportion - again.

Crossed fingers and metatarsals anyway.

Shawcross for England!

not a blow at all. he's awful, only his reputation gets him picked.

And he's got his reputation by being one of the most consistant CB's in the world over the last few years. He's a top class defender who can lead a team, and who is solid at the back. England could end up with having just Dawson, Upson and Carra fit in defence if King, Rio and Terry get injured which is actually quite possible.

have you seen any chelsea games this season? he's been awful, especially in the second half. exploited by the best attacks in the world as highlighted in europe. you can't judge him on previous seasons. gerrard has also been awful.

What so one bad season renders a player rubbish and unworthy of World Cup duty?

yes, it does actually.

But I still disagree with Jake, you don't win the Premier League when your captain and main centre back is having a bad season.
