Tevez back in training

Carlos Tevez has returned to training at Manchester City, with speculation regarding his future intensifying.

The Argentine is back at the club's Carrington base following a four-day break in Tenerife.

He is due to undergo a light session on Tuesday afternoon as he eases his way back into the fold.

Tevez was forced to sit out Saturday's victory over former club West Ham through suspension and was given permission to take a mid-season break.

However, shortly after the win over the Hammers, news broke that the City skipper had handed in a transfer request and he was keen to quit Eastlands in January.

The club quickly knocked back any suggestion that he would be allowed to leave in the New Year, but that has done little to prevent rumours spreading like wild fire.

Linked

Tevez is not expected to play any part in City's Europa League clash with Juventus on Thursday as the issue rumbles on, but that decision is believed to have been taken ahead of the weekend as the fixture in Turin is a dead rubber.

Italy is one of the places, though, that the South American striker is being heavily linked with.

Serie A giants Inter Milan were tipped to be one of those likely to express an interest once the transfer window reopens, with Rafa Benitez needing to get a faltering campaign back on track.

The Spanish coach has been quick to play down such talk, though, and insists his sole focus at present is on guiding Inter to glory at the Club World Cup.

"We are not going to talk about other players before a game like this," he said ahead of a meeting with South Korean side Seongnam on Wednesday.

"I am happy with my own. For us the most important game is the first and the best team will go out on the pitch to win this match."
