Liverpool manager Brendan Rogers reveals Balotelli is not set for return against Stoke

Liverpool will be without Mario Balotelli when they host Stoke City at Anfield on Saturday.

The Italian has missed Champions League match against Ludogorets Razgard midweek and a couple of games in the past few weeks due to a groin injury he picked up while on international duty.

The Reds manager Brendn Rogers at his pre-match press conference, confirmed that the Italian would not be a part of the squad for Saturday's encounter.

"Not yet, no," said the Northern Irishman when asked if Balotelli could feature against the Potters. "We'll have the same squad as the other night."
