Hughes makes Tevez plea
Mark Hughes is hoping Manchester City new boy Carlos Tevez will be left out of Argentina's squad to face Russia next week.
Tevez has yet to make his debut for City since signing last month and aggravated a heel injury during the club's pre-season trip to South Africa.
He will not feature in Wednesday's friendly against Rangers and is also doubtful for Saturday's game with Celtic as he continues his recovery.
And City boss Hughes wants Argentina coach Diego Maradona to leave the striker out of his plans for the trip to Moscow to tackle Russia.
"We don't think Carlos should play for his international team and we'd prefer him to stay back next week," Hughes told the club's official website.
"The Argentine 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 in South Africa.
"He'll be fine for the start of the season, but he's still not able to put his full weight on it."
