AFP, SHANGHAI: Underperforming Carlos Tevez has returned to China following treatment in Argentina and is back training with Shanghai Shenhua, the club confirmed Thursday, allaying doubts about his immediate future.
The 33-year-old forward had returned home to Argentina for two weeks to seek treatment on a leg-muscle injury, triggering speculation that he may not come back to China, where he has failed to settle.
The former international, one of the highest-paid players in the world on reported weekly wages of about 730,000 euros, has scored just two goals since joining Shenhua at the start of this season and has missed half of the teams games through injury.
He flew to Argentina for treatment with the consent of the club, utilising a break in the Chinese Super League (CSL) season, but had agreed to return on August 30, Shenhua said earlier. He will have work to do in winning over Shanghai fans fed up with his poor form and injury record. Many had called for him to not bother returning.
