Mario Balotelli's Euro 2016 selection hopes could be dashed by Italy coach Antonio Conte, after the manager hinted the AC Milan striker might have to settle for watching the championships at home.
The on-loan Liverpool player posted a message on Instagram, suggesting he is looking forward to representing his country at the tournament in France.
Reuters (h/t the Guardian) reported Balotelli said "I can't wait," in reaction to Italy drawing Belgium, Sweden and the Republic of Ireland on Saturday, but Conte retorted: “[He] can’t wait for what…to play in the European Championship or to watch on television?
