Chelsea’s Latest Casualty

Posted on November 17th, 2009 by Chelsea D

Michael Ballack is the latest international casualty, with the German midfielder pulling out of tomorrow’s game against Ivory Coast.

It seems Ballack has a knee injury and the Germany coach confirms “We can definitely say that Michael Ballack will not play on Wednesday.  He has an infection in the back of the knee and there has been a reaction. After consultation with the doctors – I also spoke to Michael Ballack – I have decided that he will not play.  He needs two or three days of rest. It makes no sense to take risks, also in terms of Chelsea as they have quite a few games leading up to Christmas and afterwards.”

The rate we’re going we’ll be fielding our backroom staff against Wolves.

    Not so friendly friendlies eh? Spare a thought for Chelsea fans from India – the EPL/BPL is the staple source of football for us and it seems like a whole summer since the last time Chelsea played!

    Just a thought – can Indians play in the EPL/BPL? Can an Indian player get a work permit (Though, India is not in the top 70 FIFA rankings) or can they play professional football on a special talent work permit?

    Some of these “injuries” also means they will show up for the team games. Ballack was two or three days so he may show up for Wolves.
    Lampard is out, perhaps Drogba and others but a few new ones will be back.
