Liverpool backed to bring back Mario Balotelli after losing Danny Ings to injury
LIVERPOOL fans have taken to Twitter to offer manager Jurgen Klopp some advice on how to solve their ever-worsening injury crisis.
Mario Balotelli - Spotlight On
After losing Danny Ings for the rest of the season they have come up with a novel and somewhat surprising idea - bring back Mario Balotelli.
The Italian is currently on loan at AC Milan and did hint at a return shortly before Klopp's appointment as successor to Brendan Rodgers at Anfield was confirmed.
While that appears unlikely, the supporters have made their position clear after seeing the club gripped by injuries to a number of star players.
News of the long-term absence of Ings came just a day after it was confirmed Joe Gomez could be out for nine months.
Christian Benteke remains injured, while Roberto Firmino is another worry.

Despite a miserable time at Liverpool, some fans want to see Balotelli recalled
Klopp could hardly have wished for a worse start to his tenure on Merseyside and he is faced with taking a scratch side to Tottenham on Saturday for his first game in charge.
That Ings suffered a cruciate knee injury would have come as a particular blow as he appeared to be settling well since moving to the club from Burnley in the summer.
Supporters have reacted furiously to the news, but not necessarily in the way we might have expected them to. Here's how they sent a message to outcast Balotelli, begging him to come back.
RECALL BALOTELLI RN @LFC

IMO Balotelli should get a recall, I reckon Klopp would be the ideal manager to put him back on form. #LFC

Klopp should recall Balotelli from Loan if possible. Origi is young & skillful,but he need to be courageous & up his game. We need goals!
