MICHAEL BALLACK ANKLE INJURY UPDATE

in Owie of the Week World Cup by Itai — May 17, 2010 at 3:31 am | 47 comments

 

Germany national team captain Michael Ballack sustained injury to his right ankle during Chelsea FA Cup Final, and will undergo tests to determine whether or not he will be ready for Germany’s World Cup opening match on June 13 against Australia.

Prior to tests, Ballack stated, “It’s not that good at the moment, but I have to wait until tomorrow for the scan, and then we will know more.  I went off and couldn’t carry on, but it’s not that bad.”

After a challenge with Portsmouth’s Kevin-Prince Boateng in the 44th minute, Ballack hit the grass grabbing his ankle.

“It’s not good in football when that happens, and nobody wants to see it,” Ballack said. “He got away with a yellow and was lucky.”

The Blues would beat Portsmouth by a final score of 1-0 after a fantastic Didier Drogba goal in the 59th minute.

It had been feared he could miss Germany’s World Cup opener, although the news that his ankle is not broken has come as great news to Ballack and all Germany national team supporters.  As swelling decreases, it will be possible for doctors to discover ligament damage.  Stay tuned.
