Ballack played last night for Germany

Chelsea and England centre-back Michael Mancienne could be handed a shock role at the heart of the Blues defence due to their injury crisis. Both captain John Terry (back), Alex (hip and thigh) and Ricardo Carvalho (knee) are all doubts for the Middlesbrough game and England Under-21 star Mancienne may be given his first Premier League start in order to shore-up the heart of the defence. But even though he is ready for the chance, Mancienne admits that the lack of opportunities has caused him to think about his future at the club. "I understand the problem at Chelsea because there are so many top-quality players. But it can get you down when you are a regular with England Under-21s but you go back to the reserve team. It's very frustrating," he said. "I am at a stage now where I need to play first-team football and feel ready to test myself at the highest level. "My game has blossomed under England under-21 coach Stuart Pearce and my education at Chelsea has been top class. "I will keep trying to catch the boss' eye but eventually you have to be honest and start thinking about what's best for your career."

Chelsea are planning a surprise bid for Inter Milan striker Mario Balotelli. The Mirror says Chelsea want to nick Inter Milan whizz-kid Balotelli off former manager Jose Mourinho. The striker, 18, is rated highly by new Inter boss Mourinho but is in a contract dispute with the Italian club. Chelsea missed out on Robinho, and with Didier Drogba injured, they are short of cover. Italy Under-21 star Balotelli impressed scoring seven goals in 14 Serie A games last season.

i do not blame Michael Mancienne wanting to leave because he is 5th choice CB and he 20 now the right age to start 1st team football but it looks like its not going to be at Chelsea Good Luck Michael Mancienne

Michael Mancienne admits he may seek a move away from Chelsea. The England U21 defender is interesting Fulham and West Ham and said: “I understand the problem at Chelsea because there are so many top quality players. “But it can get you down when you are a regular with England under-21s but you go back to the reserve team. It’s very frustrating. “My game has blossomed under Stuart Pearce and my education at Chelsea has been top class. “But I am at a stage now where I need to play first team football and feel ready to test myself at the highest level. “I will keep trying to catch the boss’ eye but eventually you have to be honest and start thinking about what’s best for your career.”

The extremely talented PSV midfielder Ibrahim Afellay is reportedly being tracked by both London giants, Chelsea and Arsenal, with a view to a January move. He is presently playing for the Dutch Champions where he has played 85 games, and is now a fixture in the team, but the ambitious 22 year-old is keen to move up a peg or two. He made his debut for the Holland international team last year and he has already made eleven appearances. His buy-out clause is only set at £11million and at that price Man City were also reported to be interested in his signature. His club PSV were soundly beaten 3-0 by Atletico Madrid two weeks ago in the Champions League and it is thought he would be tempted to join a club that would have a chance of winning the prestigious competition one day, something PSV are very unlikely to do. footylatest.com
