Terry ruled out of Club World Cup

7Dec 2012

Chelsea will be without club captain John Terry for this month's Club World Cup in Japan.

The former England defender sustained ligament damage in the Premier League clash with Liverpool and was originally expected to be out for three weeks. However, interim manager Rafa Benitez said: "We've been talking with the doctor. The inflammation during the flight will not be the best thing for him so he will not travel. "He wanted to go and to help, but it's better that he stays here. We don't know when he will play. We have to wait and see how he reacts." The west Londoners travel to Sunderland on Saturday and are 4/5 with bet365 to win the match while the Black Cats are available at 15/4 to take three points from the match.
