Mario Balotelli has reportedly been left out of Liverpool's squad for this weekend's pre-season trip to Finland.

The Merseyside outfit are due to take on HJK Helsinki on Saturday, with a number of their summer signings expected to be on show.

Nathaniel Clyne, Joe Gomez, Danny Ings, Divock Origi and James Milner are among the players selected by manager Brendan Rodgers to travel.

However, according to ESPN, Balotelli will be left behind, indicating that the controversial Italian could be on his way out of Anfield after just one season at the club.

Fabio Borini and Jose Enrique have also reportedly not been included in the travelling party.
