Mario Balotelli could incur a nine-match ban if his challenge on Alex Song is punished due to the FA's totting up procedure.

Mario Balotelli could be banned for nine games if the Football Association decide to punish him for his reckless challenge on Alex Song.

The Italian is already facing a three-match ban for his red card in the 1-0 defeat at the Emirates Stadium.

It was Balotelli's third red card of the season and punishment for the challenge on Song would count as his fourth.

That would mean that a further six matches could be added to his suspension due to the FA's totting up procedure.
