Chelsea midfielder Michael Ballack has reiterated that there is no chance of his playing for Germany at the World Cup finals in South Africa.
There had been reports that he was set to undergo 'wonder treatments' for the ankle injury he sustained in the FA Cup final against Portsmouth.
Last week Ballack revealed that there was no possibility that he could feature for Joachim Loew's squad this summer and he has confirmed once again that there was never any chance of him travelling.
"A few wonder-healers have contacted me, but I don't believe in miracles," he said on Germany's ZDF television.
"The World Cup is forgotten.
"I have a fantastic doctor whom I trust wholeheartedly. It would be defying nature to treat a torn ligament differently - there is no chance."
Ballack, who currently has 98 caps for his country, has no plans to call time on his international career though.
"I will be back," he affirmed.
