Balotelli hopes to be back in 8 weeks

MARIO Balotelli hopes to recover from knee surgery by the end of November, the Manchester City and Italy forward said yesterday.

The 20-year-old, signed from Inter Milan in August just after his Italy debut, barely had time to make an impact in English soccer before undergoing an operation on September 8. He was expected to return by the middle of October but his progress has been slightly slower. "It's going to be around six to eight weeks," Balotelli said. He should return in time for the December 16 Europa League match at Juventus, whose fans used to racially abuse him when he played in Turin for Inter.
