Carlos Tevez suspended by City chiefs

Argentine striker is disciplined after his apparent refusal to play against Bayern Munich last night.

MANCHESTER CITY STRIKER Carlos Tevez has been suspended for two weeks by Eastlands chiefs.

The club confirmed the move this evening following a telephone conference involving senior staff, including chairman Khaldoon al-Mubarak.

The decision comes in the wake of Tevez’s refusal to play against Bayern Munich last night with his time at the club now likely to over.

“Manchester City can confirm that striker Carlos Tevez has been suspended until further notice for a maximum period of two weeks,” said a short statement released by City this evening.

“The player’s suspension is pending a full review into his alleged conduct during Tuesday evening’s 2-0 defeat to Bayern Munich. The player will not be considered for selection or take part in training whilst the review is under way.”

Tevez released a statement on this morning, saying: “This is not the right time to get into specific details as to why this did not happen. But I wish to state that I never refused to play.

“Going forward I am ready to play when required and to fulfil my obligations.”
