The decision was made after Samuel Gigot suffered a serious injury.
Terry can form a new central defensive partnership with Italian Salvatore Bocchetti, who has been in Moscow since 2013.

He’ll be an opponent to former Juventus midfielder Marchisio, who signed a two-year contract with Zenit St Petersburg this week.
