Balotelli moved from AC Milan to Liverpool this summer in a £16million deal but his pet pig is still back in Italy.

Government stipulations require Balotelli to first register as a breeder before obtaining a certificate of health from an Italian vet before the animal can be cleared to fly.
And to make matters worse, his teammates have been less than sympathetic to his plight by making fun of him for missing her so much.
“His transfer from Milan took less time,” a source said.
“He’s bent the ear of the people in the office, everyone. The lads have got to hear about it and the swines are giving him loads.
“He just laughs it off and talks about what great pets pigs make.”
