MILAN – Mario Balotelli spoke to the press after his medical at the Madonnina Clini in Milan about his return to the rossoneri. Balotelli is expected to make his way to Casa Milan at 1.30pm this afternoon.

He said: “I am happy to be back. I don’t have much to say because I just need to train and prove myself. Physically I am fit but I need to train with the squad. I am very motivated but I need to work hard and talk less. I always hoped I would return to Milan, the club hold a special place in my heart. Do I want to end my career here? I just want to get back to work and have a good season, I have to work and that is it.”

MILAN – Mario Balotelli was welcomed by about one hundred fans at Casa Milan when he arrived.

MILAN – Carlo Tavecchio, the president of the FIGC, has spoken about the return of Mario Balotelli to Milan.

He said: “We will see how it goes. He seems to have forgotten the value of suffering, of sacrifice, he gives the impression of someone who has been given everything too quickly because of his talent. He has lost his compass and he needs to rediscover where it is now that he is back at Milan with the help of the club. If the rossoneri can rebuild Balotelli then it wll be a good thing for all of Italian football.”

MILAN – The disciplinary commission has given Rodrigo Ely a one match suspension for his sending off against Fiorentina. The player will miss the match against Empoli.
Carmona (Atalanta) and Ivan (Sampdoria) have also received a one match ban.

MILAN – After his medical at the Madonnina Clinic in Milan, Mario Balotelli has moved to the Centro Medicina of sport in Via Piranesi, Milan, for his final clearance to play.
