[LNB]Terry was immediately led away, with his foot placed in a protective boot as a precautionary measure.[LNB]Terry said: "I was just running back to goal and Daniel Sturridge fell on top of me. My foot was caught underneath. I thought it was quite bad initially. [LNB]"But once I had the scan, it was just bruising and today there was no problem at all. [LNB]"I was delighted when I got the scan results and there was no ligament damage or anything like that. It was just a bit of bruising inside the foot so no problem at all. [LNB]"I felt good today, I felt nothing at all, passing the ball or striking the ball. I came straight here to see the doctor and he sent me for a scan straight away. He couldn't tell what it was, it was always going to be a quick scan, nothing serious." [LNB]Terry admitted he was concerned the problem could have affected his participation in this summer's World Cup final in South Africa. [LNB]He said: "It was sorted out in a couple of hours but I was a bit scared, I must say. [LNB]"Once I had the scan I didn't wear the boot, it's just protection really. The doctor advised me to keep it on. But once I got the scan results I was back in my normal trainer." [LNB]England manager Fabio Capello has been kept informed by Chelsea's medical staff, who have a good relationship with the Football Association and its team of doctors, led by Ian Beasley. [LNB]Terry has suffered a metatarsal injury before, in Dec 2007, which ruled him out for 14 matches. [LNB]The training ground injury yesterday was witnessed by television crews, filming footage ahead of Saturday's game, which led to the reports that it was far worse than has since transpired. [LNB]
