Germany coach Joachim Low stated on Thursday that Ballack's time with the national squad was up. Low added that the 34-year-old would be given the opportunity to play one last match in August, when Germany take on Brazil in a friendly match.

"Turning a friendly match, which has been planned for so long, into my farewell is, in my opinion, a farce," Ballack told newspaper Bild.
