Mario Balotelli’s extended leave in pictures

🔥

Mario Balotelli is yet to return to Manchester City, having been given extended leave following a highly involved Euro 2012 campaign. And the Italian striker is certainly making it count, if these snapshots are anything to go by.

There have been a flurry of reports lately, so perhaps it’s time for a recap. Let’s take a look at Mario Balotelli’s pre-season / extended leave in pictures:
