Tevez: Injury doubt for cup final
Manchester City skipper Carlos Tevez remains hopeful he will be able to lead his side in the FA Cup final.
Tevez was sidelined earlier this month when he damaged his hamstring in their defeat at Liverpool.
City boss Roberto Mancini revealed last week that Tevez would be missing for four weeks, which would take him just past the cup final on 14th May.
Now Tevez is working hard to make sure he will be available for the showpiece event against Stoke City at Wembley.
“I have played in the cup for three teams and know what an important competition it is. In some countries the domestic cup is not important,” said Tevez.
“But because of the history and of what the FA Cup means to the supporters it carries more significance.
“It always has a special atmosphere because of that and I’m sure the game will be an amazing occasion.”
“It always has a special atmosphere because of that and I’m sure the game will be an amazing occasion.”
