Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini and striker Mario Balotelli appear to have been involved in an altercation at the club’s training ground.

Photographs published by a photo agency appear to show Mancini grabbing hold of Balotelli’s training bib and angrily shouting at the Italian striker.



The pair then needed to be separated by staff and team-mates.

The photos were taken at Manchester City’s Carrington training ground as the team trained earlier today.

Manchester City have made no comment about the photographs, but it is not the first time the relationship between Mancini and Balotelli has appeared to be an uneasy one.

The 22-year-old former Inter hitman has struggled to find form and goals in the Premier League so far this season.

He has a big task over the next few weeks though, with Sergio Aguero out through injury.
