Independiente said in a statement on X, external that Tevez’s initial tests at the Trinidad Hospital in San Isidro were “satisfactory” but he will stay there for the time being as a “precaution”.

Tevez, who won 76 caps for Argentina between 2004 and 2015, took over as Independiente boss in August 2023.

He previously had a short stint in charge of Rosario Central, having retired as a player in June 2022 after a third spell with Boca Juniors.

Tevez made 201 appearances in the Premier League between 2006 and 2013 and scored 84 goals.

He won the Premier League title twice with United (2007-08 and 2008-09) and once with City (2011-12).
