Terry will miss the rest of the Chelsea's Premiership season
|
England defender John Terry has been given the all-clear for the World Cup after receiving positive results from a scan on his injured ankle.
The 25-year-old needed three stitches in a cut just above his ankle picked up during the win over Manchester United.
Terry twisted the same ankle later in the game but a scan to check for deep bruising to the bone has proved clear and he can now start running again.
"He should be fine," said Chelsea club doctor Bryan English.
Terry joined the celebrations after Saturday's 3-0 victory over United sealed the Premiership title but left Stamford Bridge on crutches.
Manager Jose Mourinho told Terry after the weekend that he would sit out the final two games of the Premiership campaign.
Terry's news will be a welcome boost for England boss Sven-Goran Eriksson, who is facing up to the probability that striker Wayne Rooney will miss the World Cup in Germany after breaking a metatarsal bone in his foot during the same match.
