Refa akimuonesha kadi nyekundu Balotelli wakati wa mechi ya Arsenal na Man City
Balotelli akimchezea rafu Alex SongMARIO BALOTELLI last night said sorry to boss Roberto Mancini — and could now get one more chance to save his Manchester City career.
The controversial Italian issued a grovelling apology after his red card in Sunday’s 1-0 defeat at Arsenal left City’s title hopes hanging by a thread.
Balotelli, 21, said: “I’m really sorry for what happened and for the disappointment I’ve caused Man City, particularly Roberto Mancini for whom I have a great respect and whom I love.
“As for my future, we will see at the end of the season. I’ll talk with the club and we will see.”
Mancini insisted the ex-Inter Milan striker would not play again this season and would “probably” be sold in the summer.
MARIO BALOTELLI’S tackle landed him on the front pages at the weekend.
And a horror tackle on Arsenal’s Alex Song has cost him his Manchester City career.
Balotelli saw red in the last minute for a second booking but Roberto Mancini admitted he should have gone for the 20th-minute lunge — and will now be sold this summer.
The manager said: “He will not play in our last six games, we have six left.”
Balotelli, who The Sun revealed had slept with hooker Jenny Thompson, committed a string of reckless challenges.
Mancini has run out of patience and even called on the FA to punish his volatile striker after the referee did not see the challenge on Song.
Asked if he thought Balotelli would be banned, Mancini said: “I hope so. From the bench I didn’t see but it was a bad tackle.”
Pressed on whether he will now sell the striker, 21, Mancini said: “Probably — but I don’t know.
