John Terry Has Back Surgery

Captain marvel John Terry, underwent keyhole surgery on his back in France yesterday, and if you believe everything that has been reported, JT could be out for as little as EIGHT DAYS to as much as THREE MONTHS.

Whatever length of time JT is out, Chelsea are already missing him - conceding six goals in three Premiership matches and with the draw against Reading on Boxing Day the gap at the top of the Premiership is now four points.

General opinion is that JT will be back in four weeks, but for me his return cannot come quick enough.

The following is a list of games that JT will miss (should his absence be four weeks):

Fulham (H)
Aston Villa (A)
Macclesfield Town (H)
Wycombe (A)
Wigan (H)
Liverpool (A)
Wycombe (H)

Chelsea's owner Mr Abramovich, spoke last week about the 'days of Chelsea's spending being over,' and that he wanted to see more players from the Reserves and Academy forcing their way through to the first team in years to come.

Tomorrow against Fulham, Jose has a great opportunity to do just that. With Boulahrouz suspended, Jose can call up reserve team defender Adrian Pettigrew to make his first team debut.

I watch alot of Reserve team football and I know that Pettigrew won't let the team down. He is big, strong, good in the air and has a fair amount of pace.

Whatever happens, its squeaky bum time, starting tomorrow against Fulham at Stamford Bridge.
