Following on from my previous post when I said it would be a huge loss to the German team, if Ballack were to miss the Finals, well unfortunately this looks to be the case as scans on his ankle have revealed that the damage is serious enough for him to miss the whole tournament. This is a massive shame both for the player and the German team. Ballack has had his fair share of injuries at Chelsea and has managed to recover from them, but his latest injury, coming on what was effectively the last day of the English football season, must have come as a bitter blow for the big midfielder who was set to captain his country next month. As for the German team, well Ballack's playing record speaks for itself - they have never lost a game that Ballack has been playing in since June 2005. For a long time, Ballack has been a crucial component in Germany's midfield and his presence will be sorely missed both on and off the pitch. Germany must now revise their plans without him but just how much they will be affected by the loss of their captain, remains to be seen...
