Chelsea midfielder Michael Ballack is still 'a few weeks' away from returning to training, according to Germany team doctor Hans-Wilhelm Muller-Wohlfahrt.
Ballack has been out of action since April with a persistent ankle problem but Germany general manager Oliver Bierhoff had predicted the Chelsea midfielder would be back in training 'within 10 days'.
However, Bayern Munich and Germany team doctor Muller-Wohlfahrt said: 'In close agreement with the English doctors, I think he will be training again in the foreseeable future.'
When asked to clarify 'the foreseeable future', Muller-Wohlfahrt added: 'I think it will be a few weeks.'
