Ballack not certain to face Chelsea

Bayer Leverkusen coach Robin Dutt was happy with Michael Ballack’s performance against Augsburg in the Bundesliga last night, but claims it does not guarantee him a place in his starting line-up against Chelsea on Tuesday.

Ballack was restored to the starting 11 after sitting on the bench for Leverkusen’s last two league games, playing together with captain Simon Rolfes despite Dutt saying before the season that both would not be seen on the pitch together.
