CHELSEA captain John Terry revealed he played with two cracked ribs and could hardly breathe during his team's Champions League 2-1 triumph over Benfica on Wednesday. The 31-year-old England center-back came off after an hour and told reporters he had suffered the injury more than a week earlier in the quarterfinal first leg in Lisbon.
"I couldn't breathe and my chest was closing up. I was having a difficult time out there, especially in the first half. Hopefully, I'll be okay," he said.
"I don't know how long I'll be out. I will have a scan in the morning and we will see where we go from there. It's just horrible. When you get one in the ribs, you can't do anything about it. You can't treat it. You just have to let it heal, but I can get through games definitely. I thought it was okay, but, later in the second half, it just seemed to be getting worse and I was struggling to breathe to be honest. It was difficult. I have never felt anything like that before."
