Worth a try Mario, worth a try
Mario Balotelli remains on the sidelines for Liverpool, in every sense. A groin injury picked up while playing for Italy has not healed so he is definitely out of tomorrow night’s game with Leicester. That also means that his quest for a first Premier League goal will continue for a while longer.
But Mario is willing to try anything to change that, posting a picture on Instagram this afternoon of him with his arm in the mouth of the man he replaced.
We’ve seen all sort of pictures of people posing with the famous image of Suarez taking a bite but we never thought we’d see Mario try it, especially as the most recent nibble by the Uruguayan was on Balotelli’s team-mate Giorgio Chiellini.
Anyway, in the message with the picture, Balotelli says that he hopes the picture will bring him some luck.
As we say, he might as well try anything at this stage.
