Balotelli will not return to the field this year

„Liverpool“ club striker Mario Balotelli, who is currently on loan to the „Milan“ team, will have to undergo surgery, after which he will not return to the field until 2016.

„After conservative therapy failed, Balotelli will undergo surgery to solve his current groin problems,“ - G.B. Olivero reported La Gazzetta dello Sport.

The Italian missed the last few „Milan“ games, and the last time he was on the field was on September 27 in a match against the „Genoa“ club.

After visiting Professor Per Holmich in Denmark it was decided that the player needed surgery. Once the „Liverpool“ club, who hold the player's rights, signs all the documents, Balotelli will undergo the procedure, after which he will only return to the field next year.

Until Balotelli returns to the field, „Milan“ coach Sinisa Mihajlovičius will have to rely more on Luiz Adriano and Carlos Bacca.
