Chelsea captain John Terry is hoping to return into action for the crucial stage of the season after undergoing a knee surgery.
The England international initially played through the pain after picking up the injury at the start of February, but he was forced to undergo a minor procedure last week.
The player claims everything went well and he believes he will return into action in less than a month.
“The operation went well and I’m feeling really good. The surgeon has shaved off a bit of bone in my right knee that was rubbing and causing a lot of swelling,” Terry told The Sun.
“We’re all confident the operation has solved the problem and it is looking good for a quick return. The medical staff say four to six weeks before I can play again. But, hopefully, it might be sooner.
“I’ll definitely be back before the end of the season to help the team in the Premier League run-in and for the Euros.”
Chelsea are going through a very rough patch at the moment and they are eagerly awaiting the return of their skipper.
The Blues currently sit tied on points with fourth-placed Arsenal and are 2.00 (1/1) with Stan James to achieve a top 4 finish.
