Germany captain Michael Ballack ruled out of World Cup

Germany captain Michael Ballack has been ruled out of this summer's World Cup because of the ankle injury he sustained in Saturday's FA Cup final.

The 33-year-old Chelsea midfielder has made 98 appearances for his country and appeared in the last two World Cups.

Ballack flew to Germany on Saturday for a scan, which revealed ligament damage to his right ankle.
