'I was eating cardboard and biting chunks out of the wall' – Balotelli struggling to cope with lockdown

The Italian forward has been left totally alone since the start of quarantine, and he admits that he hasn't handled it too well

Mario Balotelli says he has been "going crazy" during his lockdown as he has spent the past several weeks totally alone.

Like virtually every European League, Serie A has been shut down since March as a result of the coronavirus outbreak.

Italy has been one of the world's worst-hit countries throughout the pandemic, but teams have recently been given government approval to begin group training sessions.
