Man City's Balotelli may be left out of Italy's Euro2012 squad suggests Prandelli

Italian national team manager Cesare Prandelli has indicated that Mario Balotelli may not make his squad for this summer's European Championships.

The Manchester City striker has once again had his discipline questioned with Prandelli suggesting he may not make it to Poland and Ukraine because of his susceptibility to being sent off.

"I don't want players who commit reaction fouls and get sent off," said Prandelli. "He seems a little agitated to me.

"When I say we have to reach the European Championships prepared, I mean I don't want to see players who, at the first sign of difficulty, commit reaction fouls and get sent off, leaving their team-mates to struggle with 10 men."
