Leverkusen's Bayer team will have to do without midfielder Michael Ballack for the next six weeks, who suffered a fractured shinbone.

The injury occurred during a German championship match against Hanover, which ended in a 2-2 draw.

The 33-year-old Ballack will not only miss Bundesliga matches, but also the European Championship qualifying matches at the beginning of October against Turkey and Kazakhstan.
