If Italy striker Mario Balotelli is the victim of jeers or racist chanting, coach Cesare Prandelli has said the whole national team set-up will stand by him.
Balotelli, who is of Ghanaian origin, has previously said that he will walk off the pitch if he is jeered due to the colour of his skin and Prandelli says the Italy squad as a whole would not sit idly by if he came under attack.
"If there are racist boos directed at Balotelli, we would all leave the bench and walk onto the pitch, we would do something for Mario," said Prandelli.
