Terry has been ruled out for 10 days after an exam revealed damaged ligaments in his injured ankle, reports the Daily Mail.

The exam showed promise in that the injury wasn't as severe as it could have been, but it is enough to keep Terry out of action for the near future. He will miss Chelsea's match against Liverpool on September 16.

Terry (ankle) is doubtful to play in Friday's match with Liverpool, ESPN FC reports.

Terry turned his ankle at the end of Sunday's match with Swansea City. He ended up leaving the stadium on crutches and will face a late fitness test before Friday. David Luiz is the likely candidate to receive his playing time, should Terry miss the match.

Terry injured his ankle in stoppage time of Sunday's 2-2 draw with Swansea City and manager Antonio Conte cannot say if he will be available for Friday's clash against Liverpool.

Terry looked a bit off the pace for the whole match, but was merely a passenger for the final two minutes as he hobbled around unable to contest an aerial duel in the 94th minute and was reportedly on crutches as he left the stadium. Chelsea did bring in David Luiz at the transfer deadline who could serve as a replacement for the Chelsea skipper, but with their back-line looking shaky to begin with, Terry's absence will be sorely missed.

Terry had one tackle, three clearances, two shots (one on target) while picking up a clean sheet in Saturday’s 3-0 victory against Burnley.

Terry should have scored his first goal of the season when he found himself wide open in front of the net and just miss-hit the ball off the rebound. Terry is generally not a threat to score goals as he only scored one goal, on 10 shots, last season. Terry’s next match is September 11th against Swansea City.

Terry will remain Chelsea captain under new manager Antonio Conte, reports Sky Sports.

The veteran defender signed a new one-year contract in May, and new manager Conte assured Terry that he is the club captain with the right spirit whether he is playing or not.

Terry formally signed a one-year contract with Chelsea on Wednesday, ESPN FC reports.

The Chelsea captain previously suggested in January that he'd look for new employment in the summer after the club told him a contract extension wasn't on the table, but the two sides apparently were able to find common ground after reengaging in negotiations. Terry, who has been with the Blues for the last 18 seasons, will likely serve in even more of a mentoring capacity in 2016-17, as he's not expected to be a regular starter for Chelsea.

Terry has been offered a new one-year contract by Chelsea, according to Express.

The Blues' skipper and legend has been offered a halved £3m one-year contract to stay in London while report also states that he could be offered a £20m one-year offer to play in China. The center-back says he'll take his time to weigh in his possibilities before making his final decision.
