[b]Chelsea have suffered a huge pre-season blow with the
news that midfielder Michael Ballack requires fresh ankle
surgery.
The German star originally went under the knife in April, after
suffering the initial problem against Newcastle.
With pre-season training set to begin, Ballack has suffered
complications in his recovery.
The Blues would have been hoping to have Ballack recovered in time
for their pre-season campaign - which kicks-off against Club
America on July 15th.
However, Ballack will now have fresh surgery on Tuesday and it is
not known when he is likely to return. [/b]
IMO , Chelsea are better off w/o him
