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.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    I like Mancini but what was he playing at today!?

    Anyway, it's been a pleasure Kolarov, but with Walker at risk i need a back up defender who plays next week, auf wiedersehen!

      Why do you like Mancini? He's offensively negative in everything he does. He plays to negate other teams and grind out wins, and can't even do that despite spending billions(rounded uo slightly).
      I have no sympathy for him as I've wasted too many hours
      of my life watching his Inter and now his Citeh bore me to focking death and I sincerely hope he and City fail miserably.

        Flanagan quickly developed a telepathic understanding with Pepe Reina, 90 mins of backpass, backpass, backpass, sideways to Carra and then you guessed it...backpass.
