Mario Balotelli returned to Italy but not for a game. He will have a knee operation today in Pavia. The young striker will have to rest for 30-45 days.
On his way to the hospital he said: "Galliani's words? I am happy that people say good things about me, I like A.C. Milan, they are strong".

In the meantime his agent, Mino Raiola, told Sky: "Manchester City's owner is a very important person who doesn't need money and doesn't not agree with everybody's fantasy that is not real. Mario must show that he's a great player in England. It would be wrong to think about the future now, we'll see in a few years. In the world of football everything can happen, such as his return to Inter or his transfer to Milan, Juve or Real Madrid".
