Blues sweat on Terry fitness

Chelsea are sweating on the fitness of John Terry who could miss both England internationals with a back injury.

The Chelsea and England skipper is definitely out of Saturday's clash against Kazakhstan but England coach Fabio Capello also admits he is touch and go for the game in Belarus next Wednesday.

If Terry is forced to miss that game as well then Chelsea will have real concerns over whether he will be fit for the trip to Middlesbrough on Saturday 18.

"I don't know if he will be back for Belarus. It depends on his back," Capello said. "If he can train a bit on the day after the (Kazakhstan) game and Monday, it is possible.

"If not, it is not possible to play because there are other players, good substitutes for him."

Terry has been dogged by injury problems over the last couple of seasons and Chelsea will be hoping this latest problem does not turn into anything serious.
