Mario Balotelli enjoys joke with Liverpool team-mates during gym session


  • Liverpool beat QPR 2-1 in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon 
  • Liverpool striker Mario Balotelli missed their win due to a foot injury
  • The 24-year-old has scored four goals in 28 appearances this season





  • He's endured a difficult season at the club but Mario Balotelli was all smiles at the gym with his Liverpool team-mates on Tuesday.

    The 24-year-old showed off his physical capabilities via a leg press machine, much to the amusement of some of Brendan Rodgers' squad.

    Filmed by defender Dejan Lovren, Balotelli appears to struggle with the weight at first - sparking laughter from those watching as he blames the equipment.


    However, the Italy international soon redeems himself by achieving the one repetition before light-heartedly praising himself as 'powerful'.

    Soon after the gym session, the maverick forward took to Instagram to post a selfie of himself accompanied with the caption: 'Life is great.'

    Despite his impressive showing, the striker has struggled to muscle his way into Rodgers' first-team plans since his £16million summer switch from AC Milan.

    Liverpool's No 45 has scored just four goals in 28 appearances in all competitions for the Anfield outfit this season.

    Balotelli missed the Reds' narrow 2-1 win over QPR at the weekend due to a foot injury but is expected to return for Sunday's trip to newly-crowned Premier League champions Chelsea.
