The Argentina international has been in his homeland for more than a week after his wife gave birth prematurely.

With Vanesa now out of hospital, although the baby is still in intensive care, City boss Roberto Mancini wants Tevez back in England.

Mancini revealed after yesterday's goalless draw with Liverpool he did not know when the 26-year-old would return, having spoken to the striker three days ago.

However, Kia Joorabchian said: "The club have been informed on a daily basis — Carlos has given 100 per cent to City since the day he arrived.

"When your child is in intensive care it's a very serious matter. He hopes to be back for the Chelsea game. He hopes things will get better, for his daughter's sake and because he wants to get back and play."

And Joorabchian insisted the player is maintaining his fitness adding: "He's training daily out there."
