Liverpool fans might be missing Luis Suarez but his replacement Mario Balotelli is making sure the Barcelona striker is gone, but not forgotten.

Balotelli, who was signed in the summer for £16million to fill the hole left by Suarez's Anfield departure, posted a picture to his Instagram account of his arm being 'bitten' by the Uruguayan.

The picture, which is an adaptation of one taken by an American fan this summer, shows Balotelli with his arm in the Uruguayan's mouth on a billboard - however the Italian striker deleted it after just a few minutes.

Balotelli posted the picture, onto which he had super-imposed his own head, with the message 'selfie with the crack! #luissuarez luckily my friend, and give some luck to me too'

Unfortunately for the wise-cracking Balotelli, he has been toothless in front of goal since arriving at Anfield. 

The Italian striker is yet to score in the league for Liverpool and has been out injured since early November.

Former Liverpool striker Suarez, who was the Premier League player of the season last year, was banned for four months after biting Giorgio Chiellini at the World Cup.
