Terry needs painkillers for toe

Terry needs painkillers for toe

08 September 2007 - 15:06

John Terry has revealed that he has painkilling injections before each training session and before every game. Terry will lead England against Israel on Saturday in a key Euro 2008 qualifier in Group E, the build-up to which has been dominated by England’s walking wounded.

  • Chelsea handed big injury boost for Bayern clash
  • Fernandes unhappy with Man Utd role under Amorim

  • "I can’t train or play without one," Terry told BBC Radio. "Hopefully Stevie (Gerrard) won’t have to have one, it’s obviously better to play without having an injection, but I’ve got no option."



    Central defender Terry said his little toe required permanent attention to keep him playing for Chelsea this season.



    "It swells up and you ice it, you can’t just go home and go to sleep. I stay up for four or five hours icing it every hour for 15 or 20 minutes to get the inflammation down."
