Mario Balotelli's Italian entourage are upsetting Liverpool teammates, it has been revealed.
The People says on more than one occasion a group of Balotelli's friends have turned up at the training ground gates to see the Italian.
And it is believed Balotelli has let them into the complex - a strict no-no for many of the other players. At least one senior England player has carried concerns over Balotelli's behaviour to Reds boss Brendan Rodgers in recent weeks.
Rodgers is concerned at the reaction of other Anfield stars to Balotelli's antics. The Liverpool boss sees the club's Melwood training ground as a sacrosanct area where the crucial preparation work for matches is carried out.
