Mihajlovic rues Balotelli injury

AC Milan coach Sinisa Mihajlovic will have to make do without the services of Mario Balotelli in Saturday's Serie A match against Torino due to injury.

The Italy international missed Milan's 4-0 loss against Napoli on October 4 with a groin problem, but was expected to make his return in this weekend's game in Turin.

"Injuries are part and parcel of our job," Mihajlovic stated at a press conference.

"Balotelli is struggling with a groin injury and he is not available.

"I hope he can resume full training again on Monday."

Balotelli's absence means Mihajlovic is likely to give Carlos Bacca and Luiz Adriano the nod again up front.
