Mancini in Tevez plea to Argentina
Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini is ready to ask Argentina to use star striker Carlos Tevez less frequently.[LNB] It is understood that Mancini has given Tevez permission to fly home to Argentina this week in order to aid his recovery from a thigh problem.[LNB]Tevez suffered the injury during their defeat by Arsenal last week and he is set to miss their weekend clash with Wolves.[LNB]City are hopeful Tevez will be fit to face rivals Manchester United the following week, but the striker is due to link up with Argentina in Qatar next month, when they will face Brazil.[LNB]"International football is a problem for Carlos. Argentina don't play games in Europe but in South America, Japan or Australia and this makes it difficult for him," said Mancini.[LNB]"He arrived back from the last international break tired. He needs time to recover.[LNB]"Argentina have a friendly against Brazil in November, but I hope for that game he can stay here. It would be better for him and his country."[LNB]Mancini also responded to reports that Tevez could quit City sooner than expected in order to return home to Argentina.[LNB]He added: "I don't know whether he will stay here for the next 10 years or return to Argentina then, but I'm not worried by it at the moment."
