Chelsea midfielder Michael Ballack has admitted that time could be running out for him to secure a new contract at Stamford Bridge ahead of the World Cup.
The German's current deal at the club runs out in the summer and, whilst he accepts the decision taken by owner Roman Abramovich to delay contract negotiations until after the weekend's FA Cup final, he does feel that something needs to happen quickly.
"Roman Abramovich will only hold contract discussions once the season is over," Ballack told reporters.
"I don't want to pass judgement on that and I have to accept it.
"But everything is becoming rather tight in terms of time."
Bundesliga outfit Schalke 04 have been linked with the 33-year-old in recent days.
