Balotelli scored for Manchester City prior to being injured on his debut
|
Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli is hopeful he will recover from knee surgery by the end of November.
The 20-year-old injured the lateral meniscus in his right knee during a Europa League game for the club against Timisoara on 19 August.
The Italian international has played 33 minutes of football for the club since his £24m switch from Inter Milan.
On Tuesday, he told a news agency that he should be available again in about six to eight weeks.
Balotelli underwent surgery on 8 September and was initially expected to be back in action in mid-October, but his recovery has taken longer than expected.
His recovery timetable should allow him to appear for City in their Europa League tie with Juventus on 16 December.

606: DEBATE
Softly...

Balotelli, the son of Ghanaian immigrants to Italy, suffered racist heckling from a section of the Juventus support when he faced them in Inter colours in the past, forcing the Turin club to play a match behind closed doors.
In Balotelli's absence City have had a mixed start to the season, beating Liverpool and Chelsea in the Premier League, but also losing at Sunderland and exiting the Carling Cup with a 2-1 defeat at West Brom.
