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]The former captain continued: "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."
