Terry undergoes routine second brain scan

LONDON, Mar 1 (Reuters) England and Chelsea captain John Terry has undergone a second brain scan after being knocked unconscious during last Sundays' League Cup final, Chelsea confirmed today.

A Chelsea spokesman said Terry, who was carried off during Chelsea's 2-1 triumph over Arsenal, underwent the scan yesterday. He was scanned previously in Cardiff last Sunday.

The spokesman told Reuters: ''John had a routine scan yesterday and everything was okay. It is an entirely normal and routine procedure with this kind of head injury and there is no cause for concern.'' Terry was injured when he was kicked in the face accidentally by French defender Abou Diaby as he ducked to head the ball.

He had made an unexpectedly rapid recovery from an ankle ligaments injury suffered four days earlier in a Champions League match.

Terry is not expected to play in Chelsea's Premier League visit to Portsmouth on Saturday.
