Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini insists he was not concerned with Carlos Tevez's absence for their FA Cup semifinal victory against Manchester United.
The club captain chose to skip Wembley for a trip to Milan last weekend.
"I would have liked him at Wembley. I would have liked him on the pitch especially, but at this moment he has a bad injury and it is important for him to recover," said Mancini.
"He is there for treatment, morning and afternoon, with the physio. He will be [in Milan] seven to 10 days and then come back. We have another four weeks so I hope we can recover Carlos for the final. His progress has been good."
