City desperate for Tevez return

Manchester City are desperate for Carlos Tevez to return to the club in order to save their season. The plucky striker has been away in Argentina on special leave tending to his pregnant wife Vanesa and has missed City’s last three games. Vanesa recently gave birth to a baby daughter, who arrived six weeks early. Following Sunday’s dour goalless draw with Liverpool, City manager Roberto Mancini said: "I hoped Carlos would be back for this game but he wasn't. I don't know if it will be tomorrow or this week. But I hope he will be back in a few days because I have a big problem at the moment. I have only Emmanuel Adebayor in attack. Bellamy only worked with the team over the last few days and Roque (Sanata Cruz) also has a problem with his knee.” City are desperate to finish fourth in the EPL.
