Mario Balotelli may be struggling to find the back of the net for Liverpool this season but he is also missing something else just as much - his pet, a pig named Super.
The £16million summer signing moved to Merseyside from AC Milan but he has been unable to transport his pet due to government restrictions on the import of animals.
Before Super is allowed to enter Britain, Balotelli must officially register himself as a breeder and then get an Italian vet to give the female pig a valid certificate of health before she can travel.
The 24-year-old hopes to be reunited with the black-spotted swine, bought while he was at AC Milan, in the coming months.
Balotelli gave the big its name due to his own nickname of 'Super Mario'.
