John Terry has confirmed in an Instagram post that he has broken his fifth metatarsal during Aston Villa's 2-1 defeat to Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday.
The 36-year-old suffered the injury after just 20 minutes and was soon replaced before limping down the tunnel at Villa Park.
'Devastated is an understatement to how I'm feeling tonight, after my CT scan I have just had the news that I have broken my 5th metatarsal,' Terry wrote.
'I will be doing everything I can to get back fit as soon as possible.'
Terry had played every minute of his side's 16 matches in the Championship this season, following his summer arrival on a free transfer from Chelsea.
