Milovan Rajevac believes the controversy that followed Kevin-Prince Boateng's unfortunate tackle on Michael Ballack will not affect the Ghanaian in the clash against the Germans at the World Cup.
Boateng's attempted tackle left Ballack with an ankle injury during the English FA Cup final between Portsmouth and Chelsea and it cost the Germany captain his place at the World Cup.
Ahead of the potential knockout match against a German side which includes Boateng’s junior brother, Jerome, Rajevac insists the Black Stars midfielder has put the incident behind him.
“I was in London to watch the FA Cup final between Portsmouth and Chelsea and I think the injury to Michael Ballack was not intentional. It’s become a big story but there are not enough reasons for that,” Rajevac said on Sunday.
The 23 year-old player, a former German youth international secured a nationality swap to enable him play for Ghana and is expected to be available for the game against the Germans at Johannesburg's Soccer City Stadium on Wednesday.
Milovan Rajevac explains that the Ghana player would be freed from the tensions that such situations come with.
“We talk to him and he’s preparing for the match. It’s our responsibility to prepare him for such a game. He’s a professional and he would be ready.”
Ghana goes into the final group game with four points and on top of the table in Group D, one better than Germany.
