LONDON (AP) ― Chelsea captain John Terry will have knee surgery and be sidelined for up to six weeks, a further blow to the team’s faltering season but relieving interim England coach Stuart Pearce of a potentially difficult roster selection.

Terry has not played for more than three weeks and Chelsea’s medical team decided on Tuesday that the defender must have an operation on his right knee. The center back trained Monday in Italy on the eve of Chelsea’s Champions League match against Napoli but woke up in discomfort a day later.
