Mancini moving on from Balotelli incident

Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini claims he does not always forgive controversial striker Mario Balotelli for his misdemeanours — but says his latest one was “nothing”.

Mancini is prepared to give Balotelli “another 100 chances” after playing down this week’s confrontation between the pair on the training ground.

Mancini was photographed grappling with his fellow Italian in a training-ground bust-up on Thursday, the latest in a long line of controversies involving the 22-year-old forward.
