Man City boss Mancini accepts Balotelli ban

Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini has confirmed they won't appeal Mario Balotelli's ban.

In addition to Wednesday night's Carling Cup semi-final second leg at Liverpool, Balotelli will also miss the Barclays Premier League encounters with Everton, Fulham and Aston Villa.

Ahead of the clash at Anfield, Man City manager Roberto Mancini told Sky Sports 1: "I do not agree with this decision, but we can do nothing. I do not agree. I explained to Mario and he understood."
