Mario Balotelli has been told to stop making excuses and take more responsibility for his actions by Nice team-mate Dante.
The enigmatic 28-year-old has taken in a colourful career to date, with his name never far from the headlines.
Another eventful campaign has been opened in 2018-19, with a summer of transfer speculation seeing the former Manchester City and Liverpool striker eventually decide to stay put.
He was then returned to the Italy fold, only to be subsequently dropped by Roberto Mancini as questions over his physical condition surfaced.
Balotelli has rubbished claims of his weight leading to fines at Nice, but his club form has done little to help his cause.
