Balotelli named in squad for Arsenal

[LoveCity]

But still no Kolarov. :(

Mario Balotelli could make his first appearance for Manchester City since August after he was named in the Premier League squad to face Arsenal.

Balotelli, 19, was snapped up for £23 million from Inter in the summer and enjoyed a goalscoring debut against FC Timisoara. Unfortunately, he damaged his knee during that match and has been out of action since.

The Italy international has trained with his team-mates this week and could make the substitute's bench for Sunday's clash.

Fellow new boy Aleksandar Kolarov is still out with an ankle ligament problem picked up on the first day of the season against Tottenham, however.

Man City (from): Hart, Given, Boateng, Richards, Zabaleta, K Toure, Kompany, Lescott, Bridge, Milner, Barry, De Jong, Y Toure, Vieira, Wright-Phillips, Silva, A Johnson, Tevez, Balotelli, Adebayor, Jo.

Hope Kolo is good to go!

More poor journalism, Balo's 20, not 19

Just imagining Squillaci and Djourou trying to stop the likes of Balotelli and Yaya Toure running at them. Like driving a tank through one of those paper walls the Japanese have.

Where's this from mate?

Only I'd be very surprised if Kolo is in the squad, as stated, considering he's still not back in training - Kolarov is more likely than Kolo at the moment.

Great news if true, but I would doubt it based on his inclusion

Balo around the 65th sounds good to me.

No chance Ade will play after last nights performance then? I think he may get a start.

Great news about Balo, i thought i read somewhere that Kolarov had been in full training for over 2 weeks. Has any one else hear that?
