John Terry will miss Chelsea's Champions League last 16 second leg tie with Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday due to a hamstring injury.

The central defender trained by himself on Tuesday before taking to Instagram to reveal he had not recovered from the hamstring strain he suffered during the Premier League match with Newcastle United at Stamford Bridge last month, a match Guus Hiddink's side won 5-1.
He has missed the past five matches due to the injury.
Lying 10th in the Premier League, 10 points behind fourth-placed Manchester City with nine games remaining, Chelsea's best hope of reaching the Champions League next season is by winning it.
They trail 2-1 from the first leg with the French champions at the Parc des Princes three weeks ago.

“I’m gutted to be missing the PSG game," said Terry.
It’s so frustrating missing any game, but these big champions league nights at the bridge are unbelievable and it hurts as a player not to be involved.
"I have thrown everything at my injury trying to get back fit but sometimes you have to let the injury settle, and thankfully I’m on the mend and hope to be back soon."
Terry has yet to sign a new contract with Chelsea and could already have played his last Champions League match for the club - unless they mount a recovery in the second leg - with no sign of a contract extension being offered to the former England player.
