Sinisa Mihajlovic confirms Mario Balotelli will be in the Milan squad to face Empoli – ‘we might need him’.
The striker has returned to the Rossoneri on loan from Liverpool, just a year after initially swapping San Siro for Anfield and the Coach says he'll be involved, although he'll start on the bench.
“Will [Juraj] Kucka and Balotelli be called up?” Mihajlovic considered in his pre-match Press conference.

“Will [Juraj] Kucka and Balotelli be called up?” Mihajlovic considered in his pre-match Press conference.
“Yes, they’ll be part of the squad. They’ve been training. Of course, Balotelli is lacking match sharpness, but we might need him during the match.
“There’s never been any question over Mario’s techical ability. The problem has always been his head.
“He’s made certain promises, ones you all read about in the papers, and I’m convinced he’ll keep them. I’ll have everyone make sure he keeps them, because he made a commitment in front of everyone.
“He’s always been a good lad. He knows that if he doesn’t take this chance then it’s over, and that would be a shame for a 25-year-old lad with his talent.
“We know that everything he does is amplified. It’s time to become a man. That’s what he’s said, and I expect him to do it.”
