Mario Balotelli considers surgery
Milan have published an official statement regarding Balotelli’s physical condition:
“Today Mario Balotelli underwent a medical consultation with doctor Per Holmich in Copenhagen. A new treatment [to get rid of his sports hernia] will be decided by both Milan and Liverpool doctors,” the Italian club revealed through their official website.
Balotelli’s agent Mino Raiola has recently declared that the player was undergoing a ‘traditional treatment’ in order to get rid of the injury.
“He doesn’t want to suffer any future relapse, even if it that means remaining out of action for one or two weeks more than usual”, Raiola told the media.
The Rossoneri have declined to reveal the what Balotelli's recovery time is, but a long layoff would obviously postpone it past Christmas, very likely longer.
