CHELSEA will learn today if skipper John Terry has a chance of making Friday’s clash with Liverpool.
The defender, 35, was due to undergo a scan on the ankle he injured on Sunday.
Terry was hurt at the end of the 2-2 draw at Swansea and left the Liberty Stadium on crutches.
But the Chelsea hero was told to wait for the swelling to go down before heading for today’s appointment.
And he posted a brief video on his Instagram page showing him getting treatment on the injury.
But the clock is ticking ahead of Friday night’s Stamford Bridge visit of Jurgen Klopp’s in-form side.
The Reds will arrive in high spirits after sweeping aside champions Leicester 4-1 on Saturday. David Luiz — who returned to Chelsea from Paris Saint-Germain on deadline day — is on stand-by for a second debut.

Chelsea paid £32million to re-sign the Brazilian, who was sold for £50m in 2014.
That was when Jose Mourinho was in charge of the Blues — with the Special One deciding Luiz, 29, was too much of a liability at the back.
However, current boss Antonio Conte views Luiz as a central defender — not a midfielder.
And the Italian is believed to be working hard behind the scenes to curb the talented Brazilian’s occasional defensive lapses.
