Chelsea lose Terry for Porto visit

Chelsea FC will have to overcome the absence of captain John Terry if they are to overcome FC Porto and reach the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals.

'No chance'
The centre-back suffered a head injury in Sunday's 2-1 victory against Arsenal FC in the English League Cup final and was taken to hospital on a stretcher having been knocked unconscious. He then had precautionary scans this week with doctors advising two weeks' rest. "There is no chance of John playing against Porto," said Chelsea manager José Mourinho after his side's 2-0 Premiership victory at Portsmouth FC on Saturday evening. "The man must come before the player. John is more important than a football result and we don't risk him. The medical rules are the medical rules." Chelsea take on Mourinho's former club Porto at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday night with the first leg having finished 1-1.
