Premier League - Bruise but no break for Tevez

FOOTBALL 2007-2008 Manchester United-Birmingham City Carlos Tevez - 0

The Argentine was brought off after 71 minutes having played on despite suffering a heavy knock in a challenge from Liam Ridgewell late in the first half.

A scan on Wednesday ruled out any serious injury, with a club spokesman confirming: "Nothing is broken, Carlos has just got a badly bruised right ankle."

The injury is likely to keep Tevez out of Saturday's FA Cup trip to Aston Villa, but the likely return of Wayne Rooney from a virus should compensate.
