WANDERERS Reserves could share centre stage with Carlos Tevez tonight when they take on Manchester City in the Manchester Senior Cup at Hyde.
City boss Roberto Mancini is considering giving Tevez his first public outing at Ewan Fields as he looks to get the Argentine striker fit for a Premier League return.
Tevez, who returned to Manchester a fortnight ago after a five-month dispute with City, played in a private reserve team game against Preston last week.
City have not confirmed whether the 28-year-old will feature tonight but Mancini is on record as saying he will continue to play him in the second team until he has proved his fitness.
“In these two weeks it is important he plays two or three games with the reserves,” the City boss said at the weekend. “For him it is like pre-season. At this moment he can’t play. Maybe in two weeks he could be ready.”
