The return of Tevez

LONDON. — Carlos Tevez will end his three-year international exile in the familiar surroundings of Upton Park when World Cup runners-up Argentina tackle Croatia in a friendly in London today.

Tevez has not played for Argentina since their quarter-final defeat on penalties by Uruguay on home soil at the 2011 Copa America, when he was the only player to miss a spot-kick.

Frozen out by former coach Alejandro Sabella, who stood down after steering Argentina to second place at the World Cup, Tevez has been recalled by Sabella’s successor, Gerardo Martino.

By happy coincidence, the 30-year-old stands to make his international return at the east London home of West Ham United, the club he rescued from Premier League relegation in 2007. — AFP.
