The long awaited arrival of Italian striker Mario Balotelli is set to undergo knee surgery and spend the next six weeks on the bench. So much for making an immediate impact.
During his opening debut at Eastlands, Balotelli netted his first goal of the season, and was injured later in the same match.
A statement on Manchester City’s website read: “Striker Mario Balotelli is to undergo surgery on his injured knee that could rule him out for up to six weeks.
“The Italian’s injury is to the lateral meniscus, one of the two most crucial structures in the knee, and medical wisdom is to try and encourage the problem to heal without recourse to an operation.
“It was hoped that the symptoms would settle down but, once Balotelli began to step up his recovery programme this week, it became clear that action would need to be taken.”
Balotelli has returned to Milan to undergo knee surgery.
