Terry has been ruled out for approximately three weeks with the right knee injury he sustained in this past weekend’s 1-1 draw with Liverpool. Scans on the knock revealed an MCL strain, which is not as severe a diagnosis as was initially feared when the Chelsea captain had to be stretchered off the field on Sunday.
The injury will force Terry to miss next week’s important UEFA Champions League group match against Juventus, as well as league games versus West Bromwich Albion and Manchester City.
Chelsea visit Di Matteo's former club West Bromwich Albion in the Premier League on Saturday.
As well as the trip to The Hawthorns, Terry is likely to miss the forthcoming league games against Manchester City, Fulham and West Ham United.
A three-week period of unavailability would also prevent him from playing a part in Chelsea's remaining Champions League Group E fixtures, including Tuesday's crucial match at Juventus.
He risks missing out on Chelsea's participation in the Club World Cup in Japan as well, with the London club expected to leave for the tournament on December 9.
