This was, despite Balotelli training as normal with Liverpool at Melwood training ground ahead of their trip to Newcastle United.

In his time at Manchester City Balotelli was often the subject of many stories which he later explained to be false (see video interview with Noel Gallagher below).

Here’s Balotelli actually in training on Thursday afternoon.
