Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli has courted more controversy - this time away with the Italy squad.
Balotelli only played for the final six minutes of Friday's Euro 2012 qualifier against the Faroe Islands.
It is now claimed he was set to come on early in the second half, but coach Cesare Prandelli decided to delay the change after seeing his 'lazy warm-up' on the touchline.
There are even suggestions Balotelli was too distracted to pay attention to the game, as he brought his iPad with him on to the bench.
