The father of Argentina and Juventus footballer Carlos Tevez was released yesterday, eight hours after being kidnapped in the outskirts of Buenos Aires.

Lawyer Gustavo Galasso said the forward’s father, Segundo Tevez, was “in good shape” and appeared to be physically unhurt.

He asked television stations not to transmit live from the home of the player’s family outside the Argentine capital.
