Chelsea fans react on Twitter to John Terry injury

Chelsea captain John Terry was injured in a challenge with Luis Suarez yesterday and there is serious concern among fans as to the extent of the injury.

The loss of Nemanja Vidic was a terrible blow for Manchester United to suffer last season, and now it appears Chelsea could be forced to see their captain endure a similar fate.

At least losing the defender for the rest of the campaign is the worst case scenario. It certainly looked a very painful injury yesterday at Stamford Bridge, but how bad is yet unclear.

Terry is undergoing a MRI scan on his knee this morning to ascertain the damage, and find out what his future holds, amid fears it could be ligament damage.

Forget all the taunts and misplaced glee from opposition fans, here is a look at how Chelsea supporters have reacted to the injury, via Twitter:

@andrew_halford: If John Terry's injury is as bad as it looks I wouldn't be suprised if he retired from playing,#CFC

@amar96toor: If Terry's injury does keep him out for the rest of the season, a defender has to be bought in January as well as Falcao #CFC

@ardianhalitage: I'm really worried about Terry's injury.Hope it's not serious.We need you CAPTAIN.Get well soon. #CFC #CaptainLeaderLegend

@awesomeocity0: I'm worried about Terry though. He looked about in tears going down the tunnel. #cfc #blues

@av_mohan: And hope John Terry's injury is nothing serious. We need you,#CaptainLeaderLegend! #CFC JT with Luiz is still my preferred CB pairing.

@nouragha: If Terry's done his ACL he'll be out for the end of the season, hope not. By the looks of the injury we're looking at 4 weeks minimum. #CFC

@rated_r_dave: Hope every Chelsea fan is praying the injury to John Terry is not too bad. We need him, it's as simple as that #CaptainLeaderLegend #CFC

@michramiah: I really hope John Terry is going to be okay. That scream was heartbreaking. #CFC

@jerlandson16: ...ouch, really hope that is not an ACL injury for Terry. Hate to say it that at his age...could be the end... #CFC

@zola_fan: Looked so rosy before Terry' injury, Defensively secure, oh JT hope its not serious, irreplacaable..

@jon_andrews84: I hate to say this but this could be a season ending ligament injury. JTisn't human though so he will be back in training tomorrow

If Terry is ruled out for the season, how do Chelsea cope with it?
