The Metropolitan Police confirmed a collision and reported the victim suffering a broken leg. “Police were called at 23.13pm on Tuesday, 16 March to Stamford Bridge, Fulham Road, SW6 to reports of a collision between a car and a pedestrian,” said the police.

“A 35-year-old man suffering a broken leg was taken by ambulance to a west London hospital where he is in a stable condition. The 4×4 car did not stop at the scene. Enquiries into the incident continue.”

The players’ spokesman, Phil Hall said: “John was coming out of the car park and he was surrounded by paparazzi photographers. He was not driving very fast and a security guard waved him through.

“There were some fans there and they were telling the photographers to get out of the way. John had no idea that he had hit the man, until he received a phone call from the club an hour or so later. John volunteered to go to the police station, and was breathalised in his home at 1.30am.”

Terry was not aware of the injury at the time but spoke to the police and the member of staff when he was made aware of the incident.

A Chelsea spokesman said: “We can confirm there was an unfortunate accident as John Terry left Stamford Bridge last night.

“When driving out of the stadium at approximately 1-2mph in a queue of traffic exiting the ground, his car was surrounded by photographers and fans.

“In the melee that ensued a member of Chelsea’s security staff was knocked to the ground, making contact with the car. He suffered a badly bruised leg.

“John was aware at the time that there was a lot of contact with his car during the incident, but not that anyone was injured as a result.

“Upon hearing of the injury, John spoke to the police. He has also been in contact with the staff member to check on his welfare.”
