most sad for the ghanian team

first it was Essien then mikel now ballack.what's happening to chelsea midfielder.

is mikel ruled out of the world cup?

Mikel?

Please let nutting happen to my MI-MI o.

OMG,now that's not funny,

I think GFA gets all the blame for this, they always want to risk a player's career in the name of  loyalty to national call. Essien spent seven months nursing an injury in the penultimate season. An injury he sustained while on national duty. Everyone saw it as an arm of fate then.

Last season after sustaining an injury before the nations cup,everyone expected the GFA to pipe low and at least allow him recover fully, but no, they rushed him to the ANC and made him play a high tempo match against CIV and the rest is history now. I am not saying , honouring national call is bad, but as a career person, and for GFA as a responsible organisation , the players career should be considered in tines like this. I hope they learn this painful  lesson rightly.

Wats happening to all the Micheals in Chelsea, Micheal Essien, Mikel Obi and Micheal Ballack. Two are out of the WC, i hop Mikel wnt be out too.
I really feel for Essien, was looking forward to seeing his display in the WC, but unfortunately hez out. I hp it doesnt affect the Ghanaian team.

Eh ya! What a sad news. Any the ghananian team still have capable players for his replacement.

He should simply go and beg his father.

Others believe that Essien's misfortune is karmic payback for the way he treats his estranged 77-year-old father, James.

James Essien, who lives in a mud house in rural Ghana and is in poor health, told Ghana's Daily Guide earlier this month that he has not seen his son for 15 years and attempts to contact him have been met with silence.

Despite the poor relationship, James Essien said he was devastated by his son's misfortune.

"I am disappointed that he (Essien) will not take part in the World Cup, I was so sad when I heard it," told Citi Eyewitness News.

"I have not eaten since I heard that he will not be with the team in South Africa."

But some Ghanians are unconvinced by the father's expression of sympathy.

Belief in witchcraft is still widespread in Ghana - and many other African nations. More than a few fans said they thought the old man had used juju to ensure his son would not play in the World Cup.

There is also this theory of the girl he jilted after traditional marriage and a whole lot of people are wishing him the very worst. I dont know how true this one is any way.

Michael Essien is suing a woman who claims to be his wife. Dela Ackumey, an ex-girlfriend of Essien’s, alleges that the Chelsea man had performed customary marriage rites while they were together. At first I thought this might be a euphemism. It’s not but the truth is equally entertaining.

The allegations against Essien are that he rolled up at the house of Ackumey’s parents with a couple of bottles of Schnapps and some Ghanaian currency, and the couple were given advice on their relationship. This, according to my brief research, is the essence of the customary marriage rites. Seriously.

Essien disputes this and is seeking a restraining order to prevent the woman from ‘holding herself as his wife’. Ackumey says she has video evidence to prove that the customary rites took place, while Essien claims that the rites do not amount to marriage in Ackumey’s Anlo tribe. Confusing or what?

Understandably, his current partner is not too pleased about this ‘wife’. Anyway, the biggest impact from a Chelsea point-of-view is that Essien has insisted on appearing at an Accra Fast Track High Court in person. Presumably he is hoping this will take place over the summer.

UPDATE: Some sources are now claiming that Ackumey brought the case before the court to seek a divorce settlement. Who knows? Who cares? What we know for sure is that Essien is involved in a court case that boils down to whether handing Schnapps to someone’s parents constitutes marriage!
