Ballotelli feeling blue

MARIO BALOTELLI will miss Italy’s World Cup qualifier against Armenia tonight.

The Italian Football Federation announced that the Manchester City
star, who was expected to start the match, has not recovered from flu.

Balotelli missed both his side’s opening Group B encounters after
having laser eye surgery in the last international break.

Cesare Prandelli is hopeful Balotelli will shake off the illness to be
fit for next week’s clash with Denmark.
