Carlos Tevez: Could be on the bench
TEVEZ COULD BE A CITY SUB Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez could be named on the bench for Wednesday night's Barclays Premier League clash against Chelsea at the Etihad Stadium. The Argentinian has not played since September due to his infamous dispute with the club but has now been back in training for five weeks. City have central defensive problems with Joleon Lescott (groin) out and Vincent Kompany (calf) very doubtful but right-back Pablo Zabaleta (hamstring) and midfielder Gareth Barry (back) are fit. John Terry will miss out for Chelsea. The Blues captain has been feeling the strain of playing twice in four days following his remarkable recovery from knee surgery. Caretaker-manager Roberto Di Matteo is confident the defender will be fit for Saturday's game with Tottenham. Teams Manchester City (from): Hart, Pantilimon, Richards, Zabaleta, Kompany, Savic, K Toure, Clichy, Kolarov, Johnson, Milner, De Jong, Y Toure, Barry, Pizarro, Nasri, Silva, Aguero, Balotelli, Dzeko, Tevez. Chelsea (from): Cech, Bosingwa, Ivanovic, Luiz, Cahill, Cole, Bertrand, Mikel, Essien, Meireles, Ramires, Lampard, Mata, Malouda, Drogba, Torres, Sturridge, Kalou, Turnbull. |
