Manchester City Bad Boy and Italian Stricker Mario Balotelli(Super Mario) Is Set To Undergo Eye Surgery

The 22-year-old is no longer able to wear contact lenses and requires surgery to correct the problem.

Mancini revealed the Italian striker will  go under the knife  on Tuesday 4th of September 2012, and will not feature in City's match against QPR this weekend.

"Mario is not ready to return to the pitch yet. He no longer seems to tolerate contact lenses. He's feeling alright now, but the problem can return any time," Mancini told reporters.

We will know how long he will be out after the surgery.
