Chelsea long-serving captain John Terry has been ruled out for around 10 days with strained ligaments in his foot and will miss Friday's Premier League clash with Liverpool, the London club said on Tuesday.
The 35-year-old, who has played all four of Chelsea's league games this season, left the Liberty Stadium on crutches in the closing minutes of Chelsea's 2-2 draw with SwanseaCity on Sunday.
"John Terry's injury suffered in Sunday's game at Swansea is strained ligaments in his foot. He will be out for approximately 10 days," the club said in a statement on their website (www.chelseafc.com).
According to reports in the English media, Brazilian David Luiz is set to replace Terry in the squad for the match against Liverpool, making his second Chelsea debut.
Luiz returned to Stamford Bridge from Paris Saint Germaine on the last day of the summer transfer window for a price tag of 34 million pounds.
