Argentina coach Alejandro Sabella has refused to be drawn on whether Carlo Tevez will be included in his squad for this summer's World Cup.

Tevez has not been called up for the Argentines since Sabella took charge of the team in 2011.

While it has been suggested that the Juventus striker could earn a dramatic recall ahead of the tournament in Brazil, Sabella has played down a possible return for the 30-year-old.

"I don't like talking about the players who aren't in the squad. I think it's better for everyone that way," he told FIFA's official website.

"That goes for Tevez and for anyone else, though I understand why they're talking about him more than others."

Tevez has scored 18 goals in 40 games for Juventus this season.
