Carlos Tevez injured, may miss Argentina qualifier vs. Brazil

Argentina forward Carlos Tevez is a doubt for Thursday's key World Cup qualifier against Brazil in Buenos Aires with an injured left knee.

The possible absence of Tevez, confirmed Monday by the Argentine Football Association, adds to concerns for Argentina coach Gerardo Martino, who will also be without Barcelona star Lionel Messi and Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero.

Messi also has a left knee injury, while Aguero has a torn hamstring in his left leg.

Few teams have Argentina's depth in attack with Gonzalo Higuain, Angel Di Maria, Ezequiel Lavezzi, Angel Correa and Nicolas Gaitan still available.

Argentina, runners-up to Germany last year's World Cup, have only one point from their first two World Cup qualifiers. Brazil have three from their first two matches.
