John Terry is to visit several specialists in order to try and find a solution to the nerve problems that threaten to scupper his, and Chelsea's, season.

The Blues skipper has admitted that he is no longer able to brave the pain that he has suffered since the end of last season, meaning that he could face months on the sidelines.

"John reported for training this morning," a club spokesman said. "He met with club doctors and medical team and discussed plans to continue seeing various specialists to try to find a solution to the nerve problems he has been experiencing in his right leg."

Meanwhile, England boss Fabio Capello has supported Terry's decision to take a break from first-team football in order to put the problem to bed. "It is a good decision," said Capello. "I read he will be out for a long time but he has played a lot of games with an injection.

"I spoke with him a few times and asked him whether he was fit to play. You can't play with injections all the time. It is impossible."
