Tevez 'hurt' by untrue accusations

Carlos Tevez has flatly rejected speculation that he has been seeing a psychiatrist in an effort to overcome depression.[LNB] The Manchester City striker returned from Argentina this week after treatment to recover from a dead leg which has been keeping him out of the Blues first-team reckoning.[LNB]Tevez also took the time to see his two young daughters, who have returned to their homeland with their mother following the ending of her relationship with the City forward.[LNB]As Tevez's City team-mate Roque Santa Cruz suggested his fellow South American was homesick, it gave further credence to reports that emerged in Argentina suggesting the player was seeking professional help.[LNB]However, a spokesman for the player has refuted such talk.[LNB]"There is not a shred of truth in it," he said. "Carlos is very hurt by these accusations.[LNB]"Of course he misses his daughters, just as any father would in this situation.[LNB]"But to suggest there is more to it than that, that he is suffering some kind of problem that requires professional help is simply not true."[LNB]Instead, Tevez is now back in Manchester and has resumed training.[LNB]Manager Roberto Mancini has not ruled out his skipper returning for the trip to West Brom but it is more likely Tevez will make his comeback against former club Manchester United at Eastlands on Wednesday.[LNB]"The injury has responded well to treatment and he is now fighting to regain full fitness," added the spokesman.
