Carlos Tevez has been omitted from Argentina's
squad for their upcoming friendlies against Mexico and the United
States.
The Manchester United striker has not been part of coach
Alfio Basile's plans since he was sent off in November's World Cup
qualifier defeat to Colombia for an off-the-ball incident with
full-back Ruben Dario.
That red card rules him out of Argentina's next qualifier
against Ecuador on June 15 in Buenos Aires, although he could
return for the match with Brazil three days later if selected.
Tevez, who is currently in Moscow preparing for Wednesday's
Champions League final against Chelsea, admitted recently that he
is "physically exhausted" after a tremendous season with United
which has seen him play nearly 50 games for the Premier League
side.
