Kolo Toure "can't wait" for Carlos Tevez comeback

Kolo Toure says that "fantastic" Carlos Tevez can help Manchester City grab the Premier League title from Manchester United's clutches.

Manchester City defender Kolo Toure believes that Carlos Tevez is the right man to save their season as City attempt to regain their lead at the top of the Premier League table.

The North West side failed to reach the quarter-finals of the Europa League following a two-leg defeat by Sporting Lisbon.

City's title hopes have also been dampened after dropping to second spot in the league following a 1-0 loss to Swansea City at the weekend, with arch rivals Manchester United occupying the top of the table.

"I can't wait to see [Tevez] in this team," Toure told Sky Sports News. "He's a fighter, he's a strong competitor. He's a great player. His quality is fantastic.

"We've shown with the quality we showed when we played against [United], we've been on top for almost eight months. This team has the power, and now we just need to believe and, game-by-game, give 100 percent."

Tevez has been building up his fitness in the reserves for City and could return to first-team action for the first time since September against Chelsea next Wednesday.
