Man City striker Balotelli to be read riot act after claims of fans bust-up

Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli could be in hot water with management for more than his red card last night.

Balotelli infuriated City boss Roberto Mancini with his straight red against Dynamo Kiev last night.

The Sun says Mancini hinted he may axe Balotelli from his squad for Sunday's showdown at Chelsea.

The pair are likely to have talks at Eastlands today but Balotelli's red-mist moment left supporters fuming.

And there were claims he clashed with a group of Kiev fans outside the ground after the game.

City defender Vincent Kompany added: "It's difficult to comment on what happened but with 10 men it is difficult."
