Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini faces a losing battle trying to keep hold of Edin Dzeko.

The Bosnia international has made it clear to the manager he's unhappy with his lot at City.

Mancini has no desire to lose Dzeko but is aware of the player's unhappiness, says the Daily Mail. Indeed such have been Dzeko's poor efforts in training in recent weeks that it will be a surprise if he starts another City game this season.
