Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli pulls out of Italian squad
Manchester City striker and Italian international http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Northern-Ireland-c2972, as the player is believed to have picked up an injury during the team’s practice session.
The striker was believed to have picked up a knock late on Tuesday and with him not being able to participate in the side’s training on Wednesday, it was believed that something was seriously wrong with the player.
The forward was reported to be in such excruciating pain that he had to be rushed to the hospital in order to get his back inspected. Following a number of checkups, the twenty one year old was forced to pull out of the squad, due to the fact that he just
wouldn’t be ready in time for either one of the games. The forward is now set to be in the hands of the Manchester City medical squad, who are trying to ensure the player returns to fitness as soon as possible.
"Balotelli's injury isn't too serious, but after consulting Manchester City, we've decided to send him back home," team doctor Enrico Castellacci was quoted to have said.
Italy are currently leading their Euro qualifier group, with the side sitting on top of Group C and everyone being more than certain that they would be playing in the Euro 2012, which is going to take place in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ukraine-c3032 next year.
This new setback to Balotelli has the potential to greatly affect City and the way the side has been performing so far. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Carlos-c8346 Tevez set to be on his way out of the club in the near future,
Balotelli was going to be the team’s backup option. However, with him now suffering from a back problem, the team is left with only Edin Dzeko to pock from and this could prove to be a problem in the near future.
Nonetheless, with City now having a couple of days to get the player back in shape, all hope is not lost just yet.
