Mario Balotelli not summoned

No Fiorentina for Mario Balotelli, who has not è been summoned for tomorrow’s match with Fiorentina at the Ferraris. This was confirmed by coach Alberto Gilardino.

"We think day by day, Mario must be protected. I am well aware of what he can give us, but I had already explained to you in the past that he cannot solve all our problems anyway. So, for tomorrow he will not be summoned, although he è showed up in Genoa really with a great motivation".

"I spoke to him at length, he is following a program that includes a week of work together with the team, as well as some tests. I repeat: the priority" è will always be the team", he stressed.

Mario Balotelli could be involved in the Parma away match or, moreù probably, on Thursday, November 7, when the Grifone will face Como at home, before the break.
