Chelsea skipper John Terry has insisted that he will return to aid the club's assault on a Champions League place this season.

Terry, 31, also confirmed that he will be available for Euro 2012 after undergoing knee surgery a week ago.

"The operation went well and I'm feeling really good. The surgeon has shaved off a bit of bone in my right knee that was rubbing and causing a lot of swelling," Terry told The Sun.

"We're all confident the operation has solved the problem and it is looking good for a quick return. The medical staff say four to six weeks before I can play again. But hopefully, it might be sooner.

"I'll definitely be back before the end of the season to help the team in the Premier League run-in and for the Euros."

Terry has 72 England caps to his name.
