Carlos Tevez will miss FA Cup semi final against Manchester United this Saturday due to hamstring injury he suffered against Liverpool in his last match. He is expected to return after a month
"Tevez is not available for Saturday," manager Roberto Mancini confirmed."I think he will recover in three or four weeks. It is a big problem but we can't take any risks."It is a major problem for City given Tevez is by far their most prolific striker."It is a big problem," added Mancini."But we can't take any risks. We have six games left and hopefully we can get Carlos back for the last two or three games."
It means Tevez would be in with a chance of making the final on May 14 if City make it through to face either Stoke or Bolton. However, Mancini will be forced to rely on either or both of Edin Dzeko and Mario Balotelli to derail United's Treble bid.
