Roberto Mancini has confirmed that Carlos Tevez has sustained a torn hamstring in tonight’s Premier League clash with Liverpool, a setback that seems almost certain to rule him out for Saturday’s FA Cup semi-final. City’s talismanic striker was forced from the field after just 15 minutes of the Anfield clash which City lost 3-0.
The full extent of the injury are not yet known but the Mancini did confirm a tear, stating that Tevez would seem unlikely to make Saturday’s Cup date with United…
“I think that it is very difficult for Saturday”
When asked whether the injury was likely to rule Tevez out for the rest of the season, Mancini appeared to be more optimistic…
“No, no, no. I don’t think so.”
Tevez would seem likely to undergo a scan on the injury in the next 24-hours and we can expect a prognosis soonafter.
With City facing a gameweek 33 blank, followed by a tough trip to Ewood Park, Fantasy Managers seem set to sell on the Argentine in their droves – over 200,000 Fantasy Premier League managers have transferred Tevez out of their squads since gameweek 31.
