Chelsea have confirmed that John Terry suffered "strained ligaments in his foot" against Swansea City at the weekend and as a result, the centre-back will be out of action for "approximately 10 days".
The 35-year-old turned his ankle in the latter stages of the 2-2 draw against the Welsh outfit, where Chelsea led 1-0 before coming from behind to secure a point courtesy of Diego Costa's second goal of the match.
Terry was seen leaving the Liberty Stadium on crutches and scans have revealed that the defender has suffered ligament damage, which will rule him out of Friday's Premier League clash with Liverpool at Stamford Bridge.
"John Terry's injury suffered in Sunday's game at Swansea is strained ligaments in his foot. He will be out for approximately 10 days," read a statement on Chelsea's official website.
Terry's absence against Liverpool could allow deadline-day signing David Luiz to make his second debut for Chelsea.
