Hughes ponders unleashing Tevez

Manchester City manager Mark Hughes is mulling over the prospect of handing Carlos Tevez a friendly run-out against Celtic on Saturday. However, Hughes is mindful of the fact the Argentina coach Diego Maradona has agreed to his request not to name the striker in his squad to face Russia in a friendly next week. New signing Tevez is recovering from a heel injury and could be in the squad to face Celtic on Saturday. Hughes said: "Carlos came through a training session well. We will see how he goes. "There might be a possibility we could give him a little bit of a game (on Saturday). But if we feel it is a risk we won't do that. We are pleased he is fit and well at the moment. It is basically about putting a bit more fitness into him. "He is not going with the international squad with is good news from our point of view. We thank the Argentina FA in that regard because of they have been very understanding of Carlos' situation. They know he has not had a great deal of training."
