Terry: I'll go anywhere to solve nerve trouble

Chelsea will leave no stone unturned as they look to cure John Terry's long-term nerve problem. The Blues were hit with an additional defensive blow when it was confirmed knee surgery would keep Brazil centre-back Alex out of action for up to eight weeks. Terry was already set to miss England's friendly against France at Wembley tonight because of the problem which has left the player at "my wits' end". Chelsea confirmed their skipper would continue "seeing various specialists to try to find a solution", with Terry possibly set to visit doctors in Italy on the recommendation of manager Carlo Ancelotti. "Basically, I am trying whatever is suggested. I'm at my wits' end," the Chelsea captain said. "I know I won't play on Saturday against Birmingham, but beyond that there are no clues. It could be weeks, it could be months. "Everybody is coming up with different names and I have said I will go anywhere if someone can solve the problem."
