Roberto Mancini has said that controversial striker Carlos Tevez is nearing a full return for Manchester City.
The Argentine has not featured for City since his public bust-up with Mancini last year, but he recently returned to action for the reserve team.
"Carlos needs to train again, maybe for another 10 days," Mancini said.
"I don't think he can be 100 percent straight away after five months.
"I believe he can help us in the last two months."
Manchester City are currently second in the Premier League, one point behind leaders Manchester United.
