John Terry injury: Aston Villa star tells fans he is ‘devastated’

Terry, 36, limped off in the 20th minute of yesterday’s 2-0 defeat to Sheffield Wednesday.

Writing on Instagram, he said: “Devastated is an understatement to how I’m feeling tonight, after my CT scan I have just had news that I have broken my 5th metatarsal.

“I will be doing everything I can to get back fit as soon as possible.”

Villa owner Tony Xia has revealed Terry is set to miss up to 10 weeks of the season.

The Chelsea legend joined Villa on a one-year deal in the summer following his release from Stamford Bridge.

He had played every minute in the Championship this season until being forced off against Wednesday. 

Villa chief executive Keith Wyness has admitted Terry’s absence is a “huge blow” for the team.

Writing on Twitter, Wyness said: “Lost some momentum and JT injury a huge blow but we will go into the next Xmas stretch positive.”

Former Birmingham striker Clinton Morrison believes Terry’s injury will be felt on and off the pitch. 

Speaking on Football on 5: The Championship, Morrison said: “Yeah, it’s a big blow to lose John Terry. 

“He’s been a catalyst, he’s been strong, he’s been their leader on the pitch and in the dressing room so it’s a massive blow.”
