But Adriano backs the hot-headed forward to rediscover his previous form at Milan after Balotelli netted 30 times in 54 appearances during his first tenure with the Rossoneri.
Milan have encouraged the striker to have the surgery, believing he will make a full recovery within six weeks of the procedure, according to Italian newspaper Corriere della Serra.
Balotelli’s parent club, Liverpool, will have to sign off on the procedure, and he could reportedly return to action after the winter break if he is treated soon.

Milan confirmed their decision to seek further medical advice to address the problem on 9 November.
