Chelsea and England [Images] captain John Terry has had back surgery, his club said on Thursday.
The central defender, who has missed the last four matches for his club, underwent the operation in France [Images] following consultation between the Chelsea medical department and a leading neurosurgical specialist, Chelsea said on their web site (www.chelseafc.com).
"The operation to remove a sequestrated lumbar intervertebral disc was successful and everyone at the club wishes John a speedy and full recovery," Chelsea said.
The club, four points behind Manchester United [Images] at the top of the Premier League, did not say how long they expected Terry to be out of action.
