The agent of Inter Milan striker Mario Balotelli says he's disappointed to have been left in Italy for their Champions League second-leg clash at Chelsea tonight.

Inter coach Jose Mourinho chose to omit the young forward from his travelling party yesterday.

Speaking to ANSA, Mino Raiola said: "There has not been any fight with Mourinho today and Mario does not have a physical problem that impedes him from playing.

"He went to Appiano to train and then was told that he wasn't among those selected.

"It would be very easy for me to set fire to everything, but I believe that instead we should change tones: in the interests of the player we have to work towards the recovery of his relationship with Mourinho.

"Mario absolutely has to respect the decision of the Coach, even if he doesn't agree."
