Tevez has breached contract

Internal investigations at Manchester City have come to the conclusion that troubled striker Carlos Tevez has breached the terms of his contract and will have to face disciplinary proceedings.

Tevez allegedly refused to come on as a substitute in the club's 2-0 loss in the Champions League to Bayern Munich last month.

This prompted manager Roberto Mancini to state that Carlos Tevez's time at the club was over and the club launched an inquiry into his claims.

A statement on City's website read: “The club has been conducting an investigation into the events of 27 September at the Allianz Arena.

“The club has now reached a stage in its investigation where it has concluded that there is a case for Carlos Tevez to answer of alleged breaches of contract.

“Accordingly, the club has informed him that he will face disciplinary proceedings and that the hearing will be convened shortly.

“Carlos will be required to report to Roberto Mancini for training on Thursday.”

Tevez has on multiple occasions expressed his desire to leave Manchester so as to be closer to his family in Argentina.
