Manchester City Missing Carlos Tevez for Arsenal Match

You know that Manchester City is going to visit Emirates Stadium this Saturday to face host Arsenal. No doubt, it is a big match for both sides. Signing some of the star players in Summer 2009 transfer window, City is now considered to be a huge contender for English football and a champions league place is their ultimate target. There are many who believe that among the ‘big four’ clubs of premier league, Arsenal seems vulnerable to lose their champions league berth if City can finish the season in the top four. These predictions and assumptions have definitely increased the significance of the match.



However, the Eastlanders have already suffered a setback as they are going to miss the service of experienced Argentina forward Carlos Tevez who picked up a knee injury while representing Argentina in their important world cup qualifier against Brazil on Saturday.



Manchester City may miss the service of Brazilian forward Robinho too. Robinho sustained a minor knock from the same game that Tevez was playing. However, Robinho’s injury seems not to be very bad and City manager Mark Hughes is hopeful about his recovery before the trip to North London.
