Terry out of Montenegro encounter

Chelsea defender John Terry was forced late Sunday to pull out of England’s Euro 2012 qualifier against Montenegro at Wembley on Tuesday with a back injury, the Football Association announced.

Terry is the third player to withdraw from Fabio Capello’s squad in three days after Phil Jagielka and Aaron Lennon also had to cry off with injury.

The combative centre back was a near-certain starter against Eastern European opponents who have won all three of their qualifying matches to date to top Group G ahead of England, who have won their opening two games.

“John Terry has returned to Chelsea this evening with a back injury,” an FA statement read.

“Terry was assessed by England medical staff on Sunday and will not be fit to play any part in Tuesday’s game against Montenegro.

“No further call-ups will be made at this time.”
