Inter striking starlet Mario Balotelli has slipped up once more after a big night out led to him missing his flight to join the Under-21 squad.
The talented marksman has fallen out with Inter Coach Jose Mourinho over his attitude to training.
But Balotelli was still selected to represent the Azzurrini in a friendly against Sweden tomorrow evening.
However, Super Mario was out on Sunday evening, the night before his 7.30am plane to Trieste for Under-21 duty.
Balotelli spent the evening drinking and dancing, along with fellow calcio stars Andrea Barzagli, Giampaolo Pazzini and Christian Vieri, and stayed out until around 2.30am.
The 18-year-old overslept and missed his flight and had to take the journey by road, turning up 20 minutes after the first training session had begun.
However, Coach Pierluigi Casiraghi was keen to play down any controversy.
“Balotelli is part of the group because he has done very well with us,” he said simply. “This is the ideal environment for him to do well.”
