Mancini, Balotelli set hustle show at practice

Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli and Coach Roberto Mancini were involved in a furious training hustle today.

Both Italians, the coach was seen to grab, shove and gesticulate wildly at the player as the pair clashed in front of stunned team-mates at the club's training camp.

The 22-year-old forward was then seen being restrained and led away by a member of staff as City prepared their FA Cup third round clash with Watford.

Mancini reacted furiously following a tackle from Balotelli on a team-mate said to be Scott Sinclair, once again putting the Italian's future at the club in doubt.
