Balotelli sent home from Italy's Camp after fall out with coach?

Thegoalmac can reveal that Italy head coach Antonio Conte has reacted angrily to questions over why Mario Balotelli was sent home from the squad.

The Liverpool striker was allowed to return to England after picking up a groin injury, with Conte stating on Saturday that it was "useless to keep him" for the clash against Croatia.

 Reports in Italy earlier on Sunday suggested Balotelli had in fact fallen out with Conte upon his return to the Azzurri set-up after becoming annoyed at the prospect of starting the match on the bench.

Conte, however, refused to pay any attention to the speculation and instead vowed to be "more careful" in his squad selection to avoid injury problems in future.

"I'll keep Balotelli's evaluation to myself. It's the same with Alessio Cerci. Now that's enough," Conte snapped to Rai Sport.
"There are effectively too many injuries. I talked to [team doctor Enrico] Castellacci and next time we'll be more careful and we won't do certain things."

Italy have also lost Marco Verratti to injury this week, with Andrea Pirlo not fit and Leonardo Bonucci banned for Sunday's Euro 2016 qualifier.

Hmmm, I hope its not a fall out with Conte though, because that will definitely mean the end of  Super Mario's international career as far as Conte is Italy's coach.
