Terry suffered the setback during the second half of his side`s 3-0 win over West Brom at the Hawthorns and had to be substituted in the closing minutes.

Capello is already resigned to be without his other first choice central defender in Rio Ferdinand, who was withdrawn after Manchester United's 5-0 win over Stoke at Old Trafford.

Terry is desperate to play against Germany after being forced to withdraw from the squad for the double World Cup header with Kazakhstan and Belarus last month.

"I got shoved when in the air and landed awkwardly. It felt like a sharp pain in the botton of my foot which is throbbing at the moment," he told PA Sport.

"But I will have a scan tomorrow and hopefully it will give me the all clear. I am desperate to go away with England for the game with Germany. I have not been ruled out.

"I hope the scan gives me the all clear to go away. With me having to pull out of the last squad, I am desperate to play. As England captain, I want to be there."

Blues manager Luiz Felipe Scolari could offer no more positive news on Terry`s injury.

"I am not the person to give the answer regarding John Terry but the doctor said tomorrow he will go to the hospital and have a scan," said the Brazilian.

"If he is fit, he will play out of respect for the national team. If he is not fit, Capello will have a look and not play him. If he is in good condition, he needs to play."

Two goals from Nicolas Anelka helped Chelsea rewrite the history books and equal Tottenham's 47-year-old record of 10 successive away wins in the top flight.

Scolari was full of praise for Anelka, who has now scored eight times in the last four matches, but preferred to heap the praise for the record-equalling run on his players rather than take credit himself.

He said: "Anelka is happy because he has more confidence. The players, the fans believe more in Anelka than before. They give him more chance to score goals.

"Anelka is a very good player, has good skill, good delivery, good shots. In all the games now he is scoring one or two goals. It is fantastic for us.

"As for the away record, I think my players know about this. They are more happy and they want to try to extend more times this record.

"It is a record not for me. It is for Chelsea. Seven of the wins came when I am coach and three before. For our players, it is very good.

"But we have lost many points at home and we need to recover these points away."

Baggies boss Tony Mowbray defended his side's decision to operate with two strikers despite being ripped apart by the Blues to leave them bottom of the table.

He said: "It is frustrating. You can feel the quality they have got on the pitch from very early on. Their midfield rotation and decision-making with the ball is what you would expect of a Chelsea team.

"For 30 minutes we kept them at bay and the first goal against these sides is always huge. If you can get it, you can frustrate them a bit and ask more questions of them.

"When they get it, they can play the game at their own tempo, they can slow it down and they can wait for you to over commit as they did and got the second and third very quickly.

"If you play two strikers, you leave yourself defensively a little bit vulnerable. You play one striker and you are asked 'Are you too defensive' and you never have a shot at their goal.

"We decided to be positive and have a go rather than sitting in our own half and giving them possession of the ball.

"Jose Bosingwa sticks it in the top corner from 20 yards and Anelka does what he does. That is why he is the most expensive player in the world in terms of accumulative transfer fees. He is a good footballer, he scores goals.

"You can't shut up shop against sides like that. I saw them against Middlesbrough who tried to shut up shop and they lost 5-0. You are playing top players."
