तेवेज मिस गर्दै सिटी
Roberto Mancini has confirmed that Carlos Tevez will miss Tuesday's Barclays Premier League encounter with Stoke City after being allowed to return to Argentina for family reasons. Tevez was missing this evening as Manchester City were held to a 1-1 draw by Tony Pulis's men in the FA Cup fifth round, and Mancini is already planning to be without his talented striker for the midweek rematch.
"I don't think Carlos will be here," said Mancini. "Hopefully he will be back in three days, but that would mean he couldn't play on Tuesday."
City missed Tevez's industry as they failed to take advantage of a defensive calamity by Ryan Shawcross - who picked the worst possible time for an horrific lapse as England coach Fabio Capello was in the stands - which presented Shaun Wright-Phillips with a simple tap-in. Instead, they were undone by one of Rory Delap's famous long throws as Ricardo Fuller powered home with Shay Given rooted to his line.
"Shay couldn't have saved that," said Mancini. "The problem was that our starting positions were bad. Stoke ended up with two players free. That was the problem."
