 Terry picked up his injury in the game against Arsenal last year |
Chelsea captain John Terry has stunned boss Avram Grant by recovering from a broken foot to face Huddersfield in the FA Cup fifth round at Stamford Bridge. England defender Terry has not played since sustaining the injury in the defeat at Arsenal on 16 December.
The 27-year-old was not expected to return to action for another two weeks.
Grant said: "Perhaps he is the bionic man. But he is very strong both mentally and physically. He will be in the squad to play Huddersfield."
Terry also missed England's 2-1 win against Switzerland at Wembley in new coach Fabio Capello's first game after breaking three bones in his foot at The Emirates.
Grant added: "He is a very important player for us. I have been all over the world and never seen a captain like him.
"He's a big influence on the team. For me, the captain sets an example, and we have missed him a lot."
