Suitcase v headcase: Mancini 'throws luggage at Balotelli'

Roberto Mancini threw a suitcase at bad-boy Mario Balotelli after the striker's red card against Dynamo Kiev, it has been claimed.

The Italian boss, fuming after Balotelli's dismissal helped end the Blues' Europa League campaign, is said to have told his player: "I don't want to see your face again".

Balotelli is claimed to have replied: "Good" and left the dressing room after a brief scuffle with Mancini which had to be broken up by City kit men.
