John Terry to miss match against Porto

PORTSMOUTH: Chelsea captain John Terry will miss the Champions League game against FC Porto on Tuesday, as he continues his recovery from a head injury from the League Cup final. Terry was accidentally kicked in the face by Arsenal midfielder Abou Diaby when he tried to score with a diving header during the February 25 final which the Blues won 2-1.

He was initially unconscious and then carried off the field on a stretcher to the hospital for scans on his head and back.

``John Terry to play against Porto? No chance,'' Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho said on Saturday. ``The man is before the player. Terry is more important than a football result and we don't want to risk him,'' he added. — AP
