Tevez ruled out of Argentina qualifiers

By

Carlos Tevez has been ruled out of Argentina's upcoming World Cup 2018 qualifiers after spraining his left knee.

The Albiceleste face Brazil in a crunch clash on Thursday but will do so without the Boca Juniors star and two of their other star forwards.
Lionel Messi remains on the sidelines with a knee injury, while Sergio Aguero is continuing his recovery from a torn hamstring.
Tevez's absence, which had been widely expected as he struggled with fitness over the last weeks of the season, was confirmed on Tuesday by the Argentine FA.
"The forward is carrying a muscle strain and a sprain in his left knee and as a result will not start in either of the two next qualifiers," a statement confirmed.
"Carlitos, who was present yesterday in training but did not carry out any activities, was once more at the Julio Humberto Grondona complex but again did not participate in exercises.
"He left the squad to continue recovery in his club, Boca."
Argentina have picked up just a single point from their opening two World Cup qualifiers, while Brazil have three, meaning the game carries even greater importance for the rival nations.

To open the curtain on this important discussion, I would like to congratulate several African leaders on the various precautionary measures they have instigated to hamper the raging spread of this plague. They should know that this is the dawn of a new era and certainly not the time to cast aspersions on who bears the onus or play politics on the suffering proletarians. Those residing in the hinterlands have successfully lost their sources of livelihood as almost every country has embarked on complete lockdown. The private sector, considered as elites, are even battling on how to pay their employees who are now on official vacation. The government as a whole cannot import their needs and have to dig into their reserves to try to keep every Tom, Dick, and Harr...
