London's defenders suffer from injuries - captain John Terry may have dropped out of the lineup for a few months due to a retinal injury, he will be unable to play for eight weeks.
The 29-year-old Terry, who has nerve problems in his leg, according to the BBC, is likely to return to the field only after the new year, although that is a pessimistic prognosis from doctors. There is hope that the Englishman will be able to help the team earlier.
Meanwhile, Alex will have to undergo a minor knee surgery, followed by a rehabilitation period of six to eight weeks.
This is not the only headache for the coach of the English champions, Carlo Ancelotti. Since August, defender Frank Lampard has not been able to play, while Didier Drogba is recovering from malaria.
