Mario Balotelli's 'adopted father' dies
Mario Balotelli will fly back to Italy for the funeral of his father Francesco.
The Liverpool striker and Italy international was born in Palermo to the Barwuah family, but adopted by the Balotellis in Brescia before he turned three.
Father Mario died after a long illness and the funeral will be held today.
We offer the Balotelli family our sincerest condolences
