Manchester City striker Roque Santa Cruz has revealed that his team-mate and close friend Carlos Tévez is homesick and is missing his family.
Tévez, who is under contract until 2014, has complained regularly in recent months of his growing disaffection with life as a footballer.
However, Santa Cruz does not believe that Tévez will seek to return to Argentina until he has seen out his contract at City.
The Paraguay international told Cadena SER: "Your heart goes out to his family. He wants to be among his people, who are in Argentina.
"His siblings and his daughters are also there. When you feel that your homeland is calling you back, you could end up giving up everything to return.
"Still, I think that he will see out and fulfil his contract with City before returning home."
