Tevez sorry for leg-breaking tackle

The former Juventus and Manchester City striker caused a serious injury to an opposing midfielder and insisted that he did not intend to injure the player.

Argentina international Carlos Tevez was left saddened after his challenge horrifically snapped the shin of Argentinos Juniors midfielder Ezequiel Ham in Boca Juniors' win.

A heavy challenge from Tevez led to the ugly broken leg for Ham in the latter stages of the Argentine Primera Division clash.

A bad pass left Tevez chasing and his side-footed challenge for a 50-50 ball went through Ham's shin.
