Hoppa, hatcé!
Nu Drogba nog een jaar of wat er uit, dat zou de zomer weer helemala goed maken!
Germany captain Michael Ballack has been ruled out of this summer's World Cup because of the right ankle injury he suffered in Saturday's FA Cup final.
The 33-year-old Chelsea midfielder has made 98 appearances for his country and played in the last two World Cups.
A scan revealed a partially torn ligament but it is expected to be eight weeks before he can resume training and Germany's first match is on 13 June.
He was injured after a challenge by Portsmouth's Kevin-Prince Boateng.
Ironically, Boateng could be part of the Ghana squad that will face Germany in Group D at the finals in South Africa.
The former Tottenham player was born in Germany and represented German youth teams but chose to play for Ghana, his father's country of birth.
