Title of article: Balloteli eyes return
Italian striker Mario Balotelli is hoping to return to action for Manchester City by the end of November. After featuring for just 33 minutes in his debut against Timisoara in the Europa League, Balotelli sustained an injury to the lateral meniscus in his right knee. The 20-year-old went under the knife at the start of September and was expected to be back within 5 weeks, but complications with his recovery have put him out for longer. His first match back is likely to be another Europa League tie, against Juventus on the November 16th. The tie holds special significance for Balotelli, who received racial abuse whilst playing for Inter Milan against the Old Lady in Turin, forcing subsequent games to be played behind closed doors.
