Former Arsenal player and current Manchester City First Team Coach David Platt has insisted that there are no problems with Mario Balotelli, even though he threw a tantrum over Notts County in the 5 NIL FA Cup victory.
David Platt Said:
“Mario has had an in and out season with his injury problems. He’s had a month off, a complete month of rehabilitation for this knee problem, and he’s come back, he’s looking strong, he’s looking quick, he’s looking sharp again.”
“The fact of the matter was he had done a week’s training, it was always on the programme yesterday he would play an hour, 65 minutes, and when he got the head injury Roberto just felt alright off you come.”
“He didn’t want to come off the pitch but in the cold light of day he understands that it is all part of his rehabilitation programme. He’s still only young, he’s only 20 years of age, but he’s got pace, he’s got power, goalscoring ability and funnily enough since he’s come back from this knee injury he seems a bit happier around the place.”
