Manchester City midfielder David Silva has said that the club are happy to have Carlos Tevez back for the final stage of the season.

Tevez, who hasn't appeared for the first team since his well-publicised fallout with manager Roberto Mancini, returned to action earlier this week with the club's reserves after apologising to the Italian last month.

"We have Sergio [Aguero]," Silva told The Sun. "His arrival this season has increased the 'Spanish' flavour.

"We also have the 'king of anecdotes' in Mario [Balotelli], who is so unpredictable both on the field and the street.

"Then we have Carlos. We are glad to have Carlos back. He could help us in the decisive final stage of the season."

Manchester City lead the Premier League ahead of their trip to the Liberty Stadium this afternoon.
