REPORT: Balotelli needs surgery, will miss three months
According to the online edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Liverpool loanee will undergo surgery this week and could be forced out of action for at least three months. The decision was reported to be shared by Milan and Liverpool.
As previously reported, the product of Inter and Lanciano Academy, underwent medical consultation with doctor Per Holmic in Copenhagen earlier last week. Results of the examination were not good, so much so he was also diagnosed with inguinal hernia.
Balotelli’s comeback is set to be in the middle of February 2016. Circumstances given, Milan seem not likely to make the 25-year-old stay at the Stadio San Siro permanent and the Rossoneri could also need to add another central forward to the likes of Carlos Bacca and Luiz Adriano in the January transfer window.
