Mario Balotelli claims in a cryptic social media post that "someone doesn't like me."

Brendan Rodgers has admitted that Balotelli doesn't fit into Liverpool's 3-4-3 system he's adopted to improve their form.

Balotelli's post read: "Someone doesn't like me. But differently of what they say about me, I'm a team player and I'm so proud of my team,of this win and of these fans! Let's keep going. Bravi ragazzi!!! YNWA!!!"

"YNWA" stands for You'll Never Walk Alone, Liverpool's motto, while "Bravi ragazzi" means "well done, lads."

Rodgers has never given any guarantee that Balotelli will remain at Liverpool beyond the current season.

Balotelli has been linked to Sampdoria in recent days.
