POZNAN, Poland -- Italy forward Mario Balotelli is back in training and appears to have recovered from a right knee injury, making him available for Mondays match against Ireland. . Moments before Sundays training session, coach Cesare Prandelli said Balotelli is "much better," adding that "if he trains, then hell be available." The 21-year-old striker had to abandon training Saturday because of what the Italian football federation said was "a minor right knee problem." Balotelli has often been bothered by right knee problems. He had meniscus surgery on that knee in September 2010 and was out for two months. Antonio Di Natale replaced Balotelli in the second half of Italys opening two matches, 1-1 draws with Spain and Croatia, and scored against Spain.

Dempsey was linked to Liverpool last month after Reds coach Brendan Rodgers admitted during a preseason tour of the U.S. and Canada that the Merseyside club had inquired about him. However, no deal was forthcoming from Liverpools U.S. owners, the Fenway Sports Group, which also owns the Boston Red Sox. Asked if the attacking midfielder would face Norwich in Saturdays first league match of the season, Jol said: "Clint is not involved. ... Clint told us that he wanted to leave and that he wasnt ready to play for this club anymore." The problems follow a superb season for the 29-year-old midfielder, who had 23 goals in 46 games to become Fulhams top scorer. He joined the west London club in 2007 and is the highest scoring American in the Premier League with 50 goals. "The Fenway Group put on their website that Clint signed for Liverpool. But I can assure everyone there was no firm bid from Liverpool, so I have to say it was quite a problem for us," Jol said in reference to a hastily withdrawn report from FSGs website at the start of the preseason tour. "Clint feels he needs a move, that he wants a move and that was probably Liverpool," Jol said. "But Liverpool did their business, bought other players, but no Clint. So weve ended up in a situation with Clint here at Fulham, but hes not committed to the club." Jol clearly thought Liverpool was to blame for putting Fulham in a difficult position.

"Well have to wait and see what happens, but its a sad situation for us and its almost embarrassing," the Dutchman said. In an apparent response to Jols comments, Dempsey later made two short comments on his Twitter account. "There are two sides to the story," he tweeted, before adding: "The truth will come out soon." Jol said the standoff with Dempsey had been going on for four weeks, and the American seemed unlikely to change his mind. As a result, a transfer looks the only likely option. "Hopefully there will be an offer for him because our chairman (Mohamed Al Fayed) is quite strong and he told us that although Clint wants to move, and wants to go to a Champions League club, you have to respect our view that we cant let Clint go on the cheap," he said. "And we wont. "So if there is no firm offer on the table, he has to stay here." Dempsey, who has 12 months left on his Fulham contract, has been training away from the rest of the squad after missing Fulhams preseason training camp in Switzerland. A move to Liverpool had seemed in the cards after Rodgers comments in Boston during the three-match tour. "Clint is a player that we have inquired about, it is as simple as that," Liverpools new coach said. "Ian Ayre, our managing director, has spoken with the club just to see what the position is and that is where it is at. He is obviously a very talented player but we dont like to speak about other clubs players." ' ' '
