Liverpool striker Mario Balotelli told he's too fat to play by AC Milan boss
Posted Saturday, September 05, 2015 by Dailystar.co.uk
MARIO BALOTELLI has been told he's too fat by new boss Sinisa Mihajlovic.
The Italian striker returned to the San Siro last month on a loan deal until the end of the season.
He endured a disastrous first season at Liverpool following a £16m move last summer - scoring just four goals for Brendan Rodgers' side.
Balotelli has been praised for his attitude since returning to Serie A by Milan chief Adriano Galliani.
But his manager has warned the striker that there is still plenty of work to be done.
OVERWEIGHT: Balotelli has been told to trim down
"He's not played for a while and he still has to improve," Mihajlovic told Gazzetta dello Sport.
"He's training well and his physical tests are satisfactory, but he's three kilogrammes overweight: he's on a diet and when he's ready he will play."
Galliani added: "His fitness is improving, physically he's in a good place and he can do what he wants when he has the ball."
