Italy coach Cesare Prandelli says Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli isn't in trouble with him.

Balotelli was again sent off in defeat at Arsenal yesterday.

"I saw his sending-off, but, this time, it was for a foul that was part of the game," said Prandelli.

"I don't think the code of ethics can be applied in this particular situation.

"I'll calmly evaluate his position when it comes to Euro 2012, but, I repeat, his dismissal was as a result of a phase of play."
