Mario Balotelli on his final chance with the Reds
Brendan Rodgers is prepared to stand by his controversial Italian striker for now, but reports in the Daily Mail suggest that the former Manchester City man is on his final chance.
Balotelli has flattered to deceive on the field, scoring just two goals in all competitions, and has found himself in hot water off it too with an FA charge for his behaviour on social media.
Rodgers said: “I felt this was a risk we needed to take with Mario because as a group we couldn’t afford not to at the time. It was late on and we needed to have someone in. It’s something that we can’t regret.”
