Mario Balotelli to see specialist for persistent groin problem

Mario Balotelli has not featured for AC Milan since late September

Mario Balotelli has been sent to see a specialist in Denmark in the hope of curing his persistent groin problems.

Balotelli, currently on loan at AC Milan from Liverpool, has not featured for the Serie A side since late September.

He has one goal in four appearances for AC Milan this season after returning to the San Siro following a £16m move to Anfield last summer.

"AC Milan announce that Mario Balotelli has undergone further consultation," a club statement read.

"He has travelled to Copenhagen and will be treated by Professor Per Holmich. The medical staff of Milan and Liverpool will agree on a new short course of treatment for the player."

Balotelli, 25, scored just four goals in 28 appearances for Liverpool last season.
