Club v country dilemma for Tevez as Hughes orders striker to miss friendly
Manchester City manager Mark Hughes wants Carlos Tevez to sit out Argentina's friendly against Russia next week.
Tevez is due to start training following a heel injury and will miss the warm-up game against Rangers at Ibrox on Wednesday.
Argentina's doctor has been to Carrington to check on Tevez's progress with coach Diego Maradona set to name his squad for the game in Moscow.
'We don't think Carlos should play for his international team. We would prefer him to stay back next week,' Hughes told the club's official website, hoping Tevez will be fit for the opening day game at Blackburn.
'The Argentina doctor came over and he'll be speaking to Maradona today. He'll probably want to check and see how Carlos is now.
'Ideally, I'd prefer that he wasn't selected. He's not trained all pre-season.
'He had an injury from his last international then banged the same area when he slipped in the shower.
'He'll be fine for the start of the season, but he's still not able to put his full weight on it.'
England midfielder Gareth Barry trained on Tuesday for the first time in almost a week after a foot injury and is expected to get a run-out against the SPL champions.
