Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has revealed that injuries and fitness concerns surrounding his strikers have forced him to play Carlos Tevez every game. The Argentinean striker has featured 9 times so far this season and Mancini has concerns about overworking his club captain.
Roberto Mancini has seen his striking options diminished through injury. Summer signing Mario Balotelli picked up a knee injury during his City debut against FC Timisoara and won’t be fully fit until November.
Emmanuel Adebayor has struggled for both form and fitness this season and was unimpressive on his first start since recovering from a knee problem against Juventus last night.
Brazilian striker Jo has also been struggling for match fitness and only made the substitute’s bench for last night’s game.
Despite Mancini’s problems upfront, Tevez has been in an excellent run of form. He is the club’s leading scorer with 4 goals in all competitions and will look to carry on his goalscoring exploits in City’s next game against Newcastle United on Sunday.
