Mario Balotelli has been dropped from Inter's squad by Jose Mourinho for the crucial Champions League clash against Chelsea tomorrow. Sky Sport Italia claim it's not down to any injury-related problem, but a technical choice from the coach. Speculation around Appiano Gentile suggests the striker had another disagreement with Mourinho following on from a request to have an extra training session last week. It is said Mourinho had called Balotelli back to Appiano Gentile after he had already gone home, but the striker allegedly questioned the call. Those reports remain unconfirmed at this stage. Mourinho is expected to announce his full squad when Inter arrive in London on Monday evening. But, Balotelli was seen leaving Appiano Gentile on Monday afternoon while the rest of the squad stayed behind, increasing belief that he will not fly to London. President Massimo Moratti is unsure of the rumours around Milan. "It doesn't result to me. I would be surprised," he told Sky Sport Italia when asked about Balotelli's reported exclusion.
