Terry is set to miss Chelsea's Champions League clash against Paris
Saint-Germain with the same hamstring injury that has kept him out for the
last five matches.
The Blues' interim boss Guus Hiddink had hoped Terry would be fit for the
second leg of the last-16 tie, but has confirmed that the Chelsea skipper is
still suffering with the injury he picked up in Chelsea's 5-1 Premier League
win over Newcastle last month.
Hiddink had planned to include Terry in a practice match at the weekend to
improve his fitness, but instead is now targeting Chelsea's FA Cup
quarter-final tie away at Everton on Saturday as a possible date for his
captain's return.
He said: 'I don't think John will make Wednesday. For the time being, there
has not been enough development to put him on the list.
"It's not worse - he trained and had treatment on Saturday morning, and he
can run, but he cannot go into a longer stretch where you have to
accelerate. There he has to be careful.
"When he is ready to do so, maybe on Tuesday, he will play in a practice
match, but I don't think he will make it. Hopefully, let's see what can be
done for next weekend."
Despite heading in to the tie without his captain, Hiddink believes his team
can perform in big matches.
"I don't have any fear about waking them up for big games - they will be
there," he added. "We are underdogs, but let's be very tough underdogs."
Meanwhile, striker Diego Costa looks set to return for the contest after
sitting out at the weekend during Chelsea's 1-1 draw with Stoke with a minor
tendon injury.
