Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has said that striker Carlos Tevez will be given his chance soon.

The Argentinian has featured mainly as a substitute this season, as City have preferred the attacking duo of Edin Dzeko and Sergio Aguero.

"In this moment there are players that are playing better than him and Carlos is here training. When Carlos is good, probably he'll have a chance to play," said the Italian.

"I don't know if he's happy but every player when they can't play is not happy. It's normal. But we have other players that deserve a position.

"For me it's good because we know that Carlos can score 20 goals in one season and if we score a lot of goals with all our strikers it will be good."

The Blues, who currently occupy second place in the league, visit Fulham on Sunday.
