Tevez To Miss Sunday's Community Shield Encounter Against Man United

[emezico]

Carlos Tevez will return to Manchester City on Monday after manager Roberto Mancini agreed to extend the South American's summer holiday by a few days.

Tevez was initially due at Eastlands tomorrow, his arrival eagerly anticipated given the huge amount of speculation about his future.

However, it had started to become apparent that the South American would not be in Manchester, sparking speculation about another rift between player and club.

But sources from both sides have now confirmed Tevez is in receipt of official documentation from City stating his actual training date is Monday, August 8.

It means Tevez will miss Sunday's Community Shield encounter with his former club Manchester United at Wembley.

That was probable anyway given the player's involvement in the Copa America has meant he has missed all of City's pre-season campaign so far.
