da stake casino: Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini believes it is only natural that star striker and captain Carlos Tevez feels homesick.
da luck: The Argentina ace has hit the back pages in recent days with fellow front man Roque Santa Cruz suggesting he is ready to quit the Eastlands-based outfit in order to move closer to his homeland.
Tevez will miss this weekend's Premier League clash at Wolverhampton Wanderers with a thigh problem and he was granted permission to travel back to South America to resolve a family issue.
However, the Italian tactician is confident the 26-year-old former Manchester United and West Ham United ace will remain at the club for the foreseeable future.
"He never talks to me about this, but I think it is normal," Mancini said to reporters when asked about Tevez's problems.
"When you are in another country for a long time, it is normal that sometimes you need your country or your family.
"But he has his job here and it is a fantastic job. I don't think we have a problem."Subscribe to Football FanCast News Headlines by Email
