Terry injured his right knee colliding with the post while making a goal-line
clearance in Sunday's 4-0 FA Cup win over Portsmouth.
The Chelsea and England captain was able to continue, but the swelling sustained by the blow added to the left-knee problem that has been troubling the defender recently.
The issue forced Terry to undergo a late fitness test ahead of Sunday's FA Cup match,
amid reports he needed an injection to get through the previous Monday's victory
at Wolves.
Terry told Chelsea TV: "I have
been struggling with the other knee but I clattered into the post with my right
knee. All is fine. It's a little bit swollen but I am sure with the couple of days
off we have, it will heal.''
Meanwhile, Gary Cahill is reportedly on the brink of completing his protracted
move from Bolton to Chelsea on Wednesday, with the centre-back said to be set to join for a £7 million fee.
