No sources about this but it's the breaking news on Sky Sports News

It must be horrible for him! What a wanker Kevin-Prince Boateng is. Spurs reject!

Germany captain Michael Ballack has been ruled out of this summer's World Cup following scans on an ankle injury.

The midfielder suffered the knock during Chelsea's FA Cup final victory over Portsmouth at the weekend after a clash with Kevin-Prince Boateng.

He went for a scan in Munich on Monday morning but the German Football Federation has confirmed that the results mean he will play no part in South Africa.

It is a huge blow for Germany as Ballack has been an integral part of their side in the last decade and is nearing the 100 caps mark.

The 33-year-old has played in every major tournament since 2000 and has enjoyed a successful season with Chelsea this term, clinching a Premier League and FA Cup double.

But his campaign has ended prematurely and Germany coach Joachim Low will have to alter the shape of his team with under a month until the start of the competition.

Low's side have been drawn in Group D alongside Australia, Ghana and Serbia, who may be buoyed by the news.

Boateng is a fucking cunt. I'm glad Cech saved his penalty and I hope it haunts him for the rest of his life.

[Steve 10,227]

He is a fucking cunt. He was being a dirty rat all game. Flying in with stupid challenges. How it was not a red is beyond me.

Hope Ballack has a speedy recovery!

Great post.

Feel gutted for him, his last chance to play in WC and that idiot took it away. Fuck him, that was some dirty tackle and according to Bally, it was on purpose. Get well soon Bally!

I hope next year Ballack will turn him into Ramsey.

Exactly!! All the times in the season this injury could've happened and right before the world cup Bloody bastard!!!

He must be absolutely gutted to be injured, seeing as this would've been a great way to end his international career (although he's said he wants to play in Euro 2012). Boateng plays for Ghana who are drawn in Germany's group as well, so..

his last chance to play in the world cup, such a shame.

it will have meant the world to ballack as captain of germany, i would hope for a speedy recovery but lets face it his last chance to win a major trophy may have gone considering his contract may not be renewed here.

Poor Bale ...

Boateng is f***** C***

What a blow for Germany.

Boateng's mother is german and his younger brother is in the german sqaud to play in the world cup finals against ghana. He is the best defender in his age group in the world, his name is jerome boateng and he is an absolute fantastic defender. Boatengs uncle scored in the world cup final for germany to win the 1954 world cup final !

[diskoviolente 425]

So, if Ballack doesn´t get a new contract with us it is unlikely that he´ll ever win a "big" trophy ....

[Ray. 217]

Such a shame for Ballack, Boateng should have been given a red card.

[Shane 2,275]

He gets paid 100k+ a week and just won the double, Also Germany weren't going to win the World Cup so I don't really feel sorry for him.

Ha bit harsh!! I see your point, but it is still cruel for a player to be denied the chance to play for his country due to a nasty tackle just weeks before it kicks off.
