The former Manchester City and Manchester United star was being tipped to miss out as head coach Alejandro Sabella does not like the 29 year-old’s attitude.
Amazingly instead of Tevez the ex-Chelsea, Blackburn Rovers and Wigan Athletic striker Franco Di Santo (now at Werder Bremen) has been included, despite only scoring four goals this term.
There are three representatives from the Premier League, all from the Etihad Stadium, in the shape of Sergio Aguero, Martin Demichelis and Pablo Zabaleta.
Here is the squad in full:
Goalkeepers: Sergio Romero (AS Monaco), Mariano Andujar (Catania), Agustin Orion (Boca Juniors).
Defenders: Ezequiel Garay (Benfica), Federico Fernández (Napoli), Pablo Zabaleta (Manchester City), Marcos Rojo (Sporting Lisbon), José María Basanta (Monterrey), Hugo Campagaro (Inter Milan), Nicolas Otamendi (FC Porto), Martin Demichelis (Manchester City), Gabriel Mercado (River Plate), Lisandro López (Getafe).
