Terry later confirmed that he was told of the decision before Chelsea's game with Arsenal.
Chelsea signed 20-year-old American defender Matt Miazga from New York Red Bulls in recent days, while the likes of Gary Cahill and Kurt Zouma have been getting more game time than Terry this season. Terry had started the last seven league games as well as FA Cup thrashing of the MK Dons.
Terry later confirmed that he will not be retiring, but it's not sure if he has another club lined up or not.
