BERLIN: Michael Ballack (pic) was grounded by an infection on Friday one day after the injury-plagued Bayer Leverkusen midfielder played his first match for four months.
“Michael Ballack has left today’s training session because of the effects of a virus,” Leverkusen’s communications head Meinolf Sprink told the sports news agency SID.
“After a conversation with the team doctor and the player, there is no cause for concern.”
Ballack, who missed last year’s World Cup through injury, came on at halftime on Thursday to help his team beat second division Rot-Weiss Oberhausen 2-1 in a friendly.
