Fit Tevez will be a massive positive - Man City's Hart

Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart admits he is yet to train alongside Carlos Tevez but does suggest a fully fit striker would be of massive benefit to the team.

The Argentine has yet to make an appearance for City since returning from his three-month sabbatical following a run-in with manager Roberto Mancini in September but Hart is hoping he is soon on the pitch for the title chasers as he will bring plenty to the table.

"I haven't actually trained with him but those who have assured me he's doing really well," Hart told The Sun.

"It's down to the manager to assess it. But a fully fit and firing Carlos has got to be a positive for us.

"We've got energy in the team and we've got a lot of firepower. But Carlos brings us more of that.

"The strikers who are here now have got us in a position where we could get a record points tally in the league. But having Carlos back will be like a new signing. That's a good way of putting it."
