England defender John Terry has made a quick recovery from a knee injury and will return to action with Chelsea for their opening Champions League game against Anderlecht on Tuesday.

Terry missed England's last two World Cup qualifiers with a knee injury picked up against Tottenham two weeks ago.

England's medical staff, who checked him before sending him back to Chelsea for treatment, said he might be out for a month, which would have meant missing two Champions League games for his club and possibly England's last two qualifiers in October.

But Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho said after training yesterday: "Either tomorrow (today) or Tuesday he will be back."
