Waiting game: Carlos Tevez will have to wait to play Carlos Tevez will have to wait before making his Manchester City debut following his move from cross-town rivals Manchester United. City boss Mark Hughes has not decided not to risk the Argentine striker for Saturday's friendly against Barnsley tomorrow. Tevez is recovering from a foot injury, while Roque Santa Cruz will also be left out as he has a knee problem. Hughes said: 'Carlos is probably a week away and Roque a bit longer than that. 'But they are progressing well and there is no undue concern about them in terms of their fitness levels.' City Defender Micah Richards could get a run-out after a bout of swine flu, and Hughes added: 'He is looking very strong and seems very focused.'
