Carlos Tevez feels he's two weeks away from being fit enough to play for Manchester City again.

Tevez claimed he would be ready to challenge for a place in the City side in two weeks.

"In two weeks I play, I think," he said.

The striker revealed he was ready to apologise if the club deemed it necessary.

"I do not think I was wrong, but if they (the club) think so I apologise. I am ready to return, to win and do the best for the club's shirt," he added.

"Hopefully I can help City to be champions again. The most important thing for me is to return to get fit.

"I always said that at 28 I would retire. Today I say, 'No, I have much more to give'."
