Terry is expected to be rested for Saturday's visit of Wigan Athletic but hopes to play in the derby at Fulham on Monday, the second of eight games in 26 days, ahead of FA Cup and Champions League semi-finals against Tottenham Hotspur and Barcelona.</p><p>Club doctors had feared Terry had cracked his ribs in Portugal but with time required for the injury to heal properly, he only underwent a scan on Thursday after sustaining another blow to the area. Those tests confirmed the fractures and the club's medical department will continue to monitor the injury. Terry will play with painkillers and heavy strapping around his chest.</p><p>"I'm struggling a bit, to be honest," the defender said. "I got an elbow in the ribs about 20 minutes into the away leg and the doctors feared I'd fractured two of them. I thought it was OK but, later in the second half [on Wednesday], it just seemed to be getting worse and I was struggling to breathe. It was difficult. I have never felt anything like that before.</p><p>"I don't think it will mean I'm out at all. It's just a case of managing it, and things like that. I know there are ways around it. With the ribs you can't really do anything: you can't treat the injury or massage it to make it better. You just have to let it heal, but I can get through games, definitely. The guys have got a few ideas to get me through them."</p></blockquote><p><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/apr/05/john-terry-two-broken-ribs">Full story here</a>.</p><div class="related" style="float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"><ul><li><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/premier-league-2011-12">Premier League 2011-12</a></li></ul></div><div class="author"><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/profile/ian-mccourt">Ian McCourt</a></div><div class="author"><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/profile/johnashdown">John Ashdown</a></div><div class="author"><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/profile/simonburnton">Simon Burnton</a></div><br/><div class="terms"><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk">guardian.co.uk</a> &copy; 2012 Guardian News and Media Limited or its affiliated companies.
