Carlos Tevez Reportedly Sustains Calf Injury in Prison Match

Carlos Tevez has reportedly infuriated Boca Juniors after picking up a calf injury playing football while visiting his half-brother in prison.

According to Fox Sports Argentina (via Metro), Tevez played 20 minutes of a prison-yard match while visiting Juan Alberto Martinez—who is serving 16 years for armed robbery at Bouwer’s maximum security prison in Cordoba. The striker picked up a calf injury in the process, which could rule him out for a month.

Tevez, 34, initially lied about how he suffered the knock, but Boca officials are now "enraged" after learning the truth, the report added.
