The incident occured on 38 minutes as the Blues looked comfortable with a 1-0 lead, which was given to them by the centre-back under 20 minutes earlier, netting his 50th goal for his club.

The clash that led to accidental contact has left the defender with suspected knee ligament damage on what was his first game back from a four-match domestic ban after being found guilty of racially abusing QPR defender Anton Ferdinand back in October 2011 by the Football Association.

Terry was replaced by fellow England international Gary Cahill and required extended treatment on the field before being carried off the field and down the tunnel, much to the concern of his boss Roberto Di Matteo.

The incident prompted the addition of five minutes of stoppage time to the end of the first half.
