Pablo Zabaleta says Carlos Tevez would be welcomed back by Manchester City's players.
Some City fans feel Tevez should not be allowed to play again on a point of principle but others are more pragmatic and feel that if he enhances their title chances, he should be used.
Zabaleta told the Manchester Evening News: "He would be welcomed by the players, because it was a difficult situation for everybody. But most important is that we are doing well as a team."
