Chelsea captain John Terry was on Friday able to join in a jogging
session, only 24 hours after surgery on his damaged back.
Terry arrived back in England on Friday morning, after undergoing
surgery in France, and took part in some light jogging at his
club's Cobham training ground. Chelsea's club doctor Bryan English,
who accompanied Terry to France, said: "The instructions from the
surgeon were to run the day after surgery.
"That is great for us and great for John. We are not going to do
anything with John that is going to cause him problems. I am not in
the game of pushing him out there because it is for the benefit of
Chelsea - but I also don't want to hold him back
unnecessarily
English also hit back at initial expert opinion outside the club
which estimated Terry's injury would sideline him for up to six
weeks.
Surgeons removed a sequestrated lumbar intervertebral disc, using a
revolutionary new technique, and English added: "I won't say
exactly how long he is going to take to recover
8 days to 6 weeks is the answer to this so hopefully he will only
miss the next 2 premiership game and the FA cup game and be back
for the game against wigan
as for cech asap !
