Captain John Terry has apologised after hitting a security guard with his car in the aftermath of Chelsea's defeat to Inter Milan.


Steve Rowley was left nursing a sprained ankle after Terry accidentally hit him as he drove through a group of photographers and fans after the 1-0 loss on Tuesday evening.

The England defender, who was later questioned and cleared of drink-driving by police, didn't realise the security guard had been knocked down at the time but immediately made contact once he was told of the situation and Rowley has accepted his apology.

"Contrary to media reports I've been reading this evening I did not suffer a broken leg in last night's incident at Stamford Bridge," said Rowley, who is the club's deputy security manager.

"It is badly bruised. John was quickly in contact with me once he realised what had happened and there's no bad feeling at all on my part. It wasn't his fault at all, it was a complete accident."
