Terry looking to life after football
Chelsea captain John Terry has started to plan for life after football as injuries start to take their toll on his body.
Terry, who turns 30 next month, faces an extended period on the sidelines due to a nagging nerve problem in his right leg that he has carried since the end of last season.
Terry missed the shock 3-0 home defeat to Sunderland last weekend after finally deciding he could no longer rely on pain-killing injections and search for a long-term cure to the problem.
After admitting it has been five years since he last played pain-free, the former England captain said he owed it to his young family to ensure his heath after football.
"The last time I played fit? Maybe five years, maybe more, I can't really remember," he told the Daily Mail. "If you can take an anti-inflammatory and struggle through, you do.
"The pain from this injury is the worst I have had, there is no way I can continue. I'm 30 next month and I've got to start looking after myself."
