Balotelli calls for fan calm when Tevez returns for Man City

Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli has urged the clubs fans to take it easy when Carlos Tevez returns to the pitch.

The Argentine is expected to soon be back in the fray for the league leaders after more than three months away from the game and Balotelli just hopes he is not given a frosty reception by City's supporters.

"I think supporters have to be like they were before. If they make pressure on Carlos, they make pressure to all the team, so they should do nothing," Balotelli said.

"I think everyone can make a mistake. Carlos is part of the team. He's just a part of the team, so everybody loves him."
