Tevez is currently at home in Argentina visiting his family and friends after suffering a thigh injury during the 3-0 defeat to Arsenal, but he is undergoing intensive treatment in the hope of facing former club Manchester United next week.

"I intend to be in the right condition for the derby against United," he said in The Sun.

"I believe I am getting better and will take a fitness test in Buenos Aires over the weekend and will assess the situation after that."

City have now lost two games in succession, with the Arsenal defeat followed by the shock 2-1 loss to Wolves on Saturday, but Tevez believes they will bounce back.

"I hear all the City news and have suffered because of those two defeats, but the season is long and we will have chances to advance up the table," he said.

Tevez has also been named in the Argentina squad to face Brazil in a friendly on November 17.
