Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has claimed that he can't trust Mario Balotelli to stay out of trouble for the rest of the season.
The controversial striker's latest stunt was to make an impromptu appearance at a press conference held by former club Inter Milan earlier this week.
When asked if he could trust the 21-year-old to behave himself for the title run-in, Mancini told reporters: "No, I don't trust Mario. No, never, but Mario is like this. I don't think anyone can trust Mario, but he is a top player and he can do everything.
"He could easily score two goals today or in the next game at Arsenal. But we can't trust him.
"He can score three goals, he can take a red card. He can be important for us in the last eight games."
City can temporarily return to the top of the Premier League table with a win at home to Sunderland later today (Saturday).
