Manchester City captain Carlos Tevez admits he misses his family in Argentina.

The homesick striker was given permission to spend time with Florencia, 5, and baby Katie in Buenos Aires earlier this season, and only last month reiterated claims that he may quit the game for good.

However, Tevez believes he will stay for the remaining three-and-a-half years of his current deal, saying: "I miss my family like anyone in the world, but I am happy here in Manchester.

"It's a few months since I have been able to see my daughters and it has been tough. It's not easy for me living and breathing football all day while my little girls are in Buenos Aires.

"But I know it's a sacrifice that has to be made when you've made a commitment like I have done with City - and it's something I'm going to see through."
