Ballack tells Low to contact Chelsea

CHELSEA midfielder Michael Ballack has told Germany coach Joachim Low he will have to consult with his club before they can meet for showdown talks.

On Wednesday Low summoned Ballack for one-to-one talks after being “disappointed” at comments the Germany captain made in a newspaper interview.

Ballack suggested Low had been disrespectful in his recent treatment of Torsten Frings and Kevin Kuranyi.
