Posted July 19, 200717 yr Many reports are suggesting Terry has broken a toe on his right foot!! Cant find any official statement though! Gurdian
July 19, 200717 yr Just read the same thing mate, horrible news if true! PLEASE NO!!!! http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/ ... 100284.ece
July 19, 200717 yr This may sound blasphamous, but given we've just signed Tal Ben Haim and will probably sign Alex. I don't think loosing Terry for a while will be a huge blow as loosing Carvalho (of whom there is no like for like replacement in the squad).
July 19, 200717 yr It is till a huge blow, but at least we seem to be covered. Assuming we do et Alex that is, because you also need to remember that we have NO Left Back right now either
July 19, 200717 yr Author Bridge is months away from a return. Cole is still recovering and its going to be a while before he gets into the team. Ben Haim has been forced to LB. We dont have Alex YET. This could mean another spell for Essien in defence, unless Jose playes Diarra or Jhonson at LB and Ben Haim in the centre.
July 19, 200717 yr On the plus side, according to The Sun (I know I know, but if its good news then I'm far more likely to believe it ) Roman flew out to LA yesturday to shake hands on JT's new contract that he's expected to sign when we return from America.

I don't think loosing Terry for a while will be a huge blow as loosing Carvalho (of whom there is no like for like replacement in the squad). If you think Tal Ben Haim or Alex (who hasn't even signed yet) are like for like replacements for JT then you are off your head.
July 19, 200717 yr This is exactly why we signed Ben Haim (and perhaps Alex). Last season we fell apart when JT got injured (that and some other injuries of course). We have now signed Ben Haim to fix this and it's going to be interesting to see if he can do what he was signed to do. A broken toe for JT is like an annoying fly but it will keep him out for awhile, though not for too long I guess (and hope). I suspect we'll see more of Cork or Hutchinson as LB in the next few games then. Will be interesting. Hutchinson - Ben Haim - Riccy - Johnno It could be worse

Let's not forget that we're talking about a player who last season: ...was back in training the day after he had surgery on his back! ...had no chance in hell to play after hurting his foot but still made it back to the final in the Carling Cup. ...got kicked in the face, swallowed his tongue, was unconscious, was rushed to the hospital and then got back to celebrate our victory. John Terry is not a human...
July 19, 200717 yr Although it sounds serious, a broken toe is not as bad as it sounds. I broke my toe playing high school soccer once, and was back playing a few weeks later. As I am no JT, I imagine he will be back in no time.
July 20, 200717 yr Quote from Jose in DailyM@il: "It is perfect. No new injuries. Wayne Bridge and Joe Cole started training injured, John Terry we thought could be the first new injury but no, not a broken toe, it will be okay." Bloody good news I say !! If true
July 23, 200717 yr If he's that effective with a broken toe, can't imagine what would it be like when he's 100% fit
