[LNB] Sitting out: Terry insists he won't be rushed back from injury this time[LNB]Yet Terry, 29, insisted he cannot afford to be rushed back, after leaving it until the pain became unbearable before seeking treatment. [LNB]He said: 'I will get back as quickly as I can but there was no point going to these lengths if I then return before I am ready. I need to sort this out once and for all. [LNB]'I saw a specialist in London yesterday, which was encouraging and I will go back to him today. Then I will travel to Italy again next week for further treatment. I have been given some new ideas to try, so we shall see. [LNB] Felling blue: Terry will have treatment in Italy next week but revealed there is no date set for his much-needed Chelsea return[LNB]'I have read reports that I will be playing as early as next Saturday, but that is a bit premature. We do not know enough yet to make any estimates about my return. The good news is that none of the specialists believe it is related to the back injury, so now we go from there.'[LNB]  EXCLUSIVE: Terry lifts lid on being stripped of captaincy, World Cup flop and his England futureTerry shocker - chronic leg nerve problem may put him out for months Chelsea defender John Terry flies to Italy in search of cure for leg injuryChelsea crisis as Alex faces eight weeks out to join Terry on sidelinesBirmingham boss Alex McLeish: We can make Chelsea's bad week worseAncelotti promotes from within to replace Wilkins with scout Emenalo Leo's London: Bad luck Chelsea, but should you rely on such a small squad?Martin Samuel: France turn on the style while Fabio turns back the clockCHELSEA FC
