Frank Lampard admits Chelsea captain John Terry fears he has
suffered a bad injury.
Terry was forced off during the early stages off The Blues' 1-1
draw with Porto in the first leg of their last 16 UEFA Champions
League tie on Wednesday.
The centre-half was taken off with ankle ligament damage and has
already been ruled out of Sunday's Carling Cup final against
Arsenal.
Early reports have suggested that Terry is also facing a battle to
be fit in time for England's Euro 2008 qualifiers with Israel and
Andorra at the end of March.
His Chelsea team-mate Lampard spoke to his skipper about the injury
and feels Terry would not have come off for just a minor
knock.
"It's an ankle injury," Lampard told Sky Sports News.
"I asked him at half-time and he wasn't sure how bad it was, it
felt bad at the time.
"I don't think John comes off unless it's pretty painful."
Andrei Shevchenko's goal earned Chelsea the draw in Portugal and
Lampard feels the result sets the players up for the cup showpiece
with Arsenal.
He added: "We're confident anyway, we're playing well as a team and
it's a good result for us.
"It's a massive game, Arsenal are a big team, but we want to get
our first trophy."
