Roberto Mancini has told Mario Balotelli he must adapt to the rotation policy at Manchester City.

The 21-year-old has featured just once in the Premier League this season, watching on as Edin Dzeko and Sergio Aguero notched up 12 goals between them.


Balotelli is set to miss out again on Wednesday as City makes its Champions League bow at home to Napoli. The forward is suspended following his red card in City’s Europa League campaign last season, and Mancini has warned him he will not be figuring in every game.


"Mario will have to adapt to the situation, he will not be playing for the next few matches," Mancini told reporters. "I count myself very lucky to rely on four strikers, especially in a situation where the team needs to play every three days. I can have a good turnover of the strikers.”


Meanwhile, Mancini has backed former captain Carlos Tevez to rediscover the form which led him to be crowned leading goalscorer in the Premier League last season.
