Conte reportedly wasn’t too pleased with the photo, and captioned it:  “[He] can’t wait for what…to play in the European Championship or to watch on television?”
“It’s up to him [Balotelli] to show he can be included, just as it is with the others,” Conte added. “But he has got so, so much to prove.”
“I haven’t drawn any conclusions so far. I will watch everyone carefully, but I also know who has got us this far, and I know the players. Anyone who wants to come in has got to show me an awful lot.”
