Brescia outcast Mario Balotelli was refused access to the Torbole sports centre when he turned up for training this morning.

The saga continues as La Gazzetta dello
Sport reports that Brescia decided against opening the door when Balotelli arrived.

The report claims the Lombardy club said his sick leave hadn’t expired and therefore the Rondinelle decided to keep the gate shut on the former Italy international, who previously refused to have his contract with the club terminated.

The resumption of activities has been turbulent for Balotelli.

The forward had to turn around and leave the premises.

“Now write that I don’t train,” he told the press, according to Tuttomercatoweb, when he left the facilities and will expectedly return to training from tomorrow.
