Tevez a doubt

Carlos Tevez has emerged as a major doubt for Manchester United's F.A Cup clash at Villa Park on Saturday. The striker hobbled out of the 1-0 draw with Birmingham on New Year's Day and is now struggling with an ankle injury. He had scored the only goal of the game in the first-half but a knock picked up in the first-half got increasingly painful for the foward.

After netting the only goal of the game, the South American took a bang to his ankle and looked in pain as the match wore on.

"It was a bad tackle and the longer the game went on, the worse the injury got," said Sir Alex Ferguson after the game.

"In the end, we had to bring Carlos off. We will assess him tomorrow to see what the damage is but he is doubtful for Saturday now."

The news will have alerted Louis Saha who will be hoping the Cup could provide him with the perfect chance to impress his critics.
