Tevez 'refused' to play for CityRoberto Mancini has claimed striker Carlos Tevez refused to come on as a substitute for Manchester City in their 2-0 loss to Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Tuesday night.
Roberto Mancini feels the strain as the Carlos Tevez saga takes yet another twist in Munich.
Mancini turned to Tevez in the second half of City's European match at the Allianz Arena as his side trailed 2-0 following a first-half brace from Bayern forward Mario Gomez.
But, speaking after the defeat, the Italian coach has said Tevez, who was linked with a move away from the club in the summer although a transfer failed to materialise, would not enter the fray when Mancini looked to alter City's fortunes.
Mancini told Sky Sports: "He refused to come on. One player refused to go on - I can't accept this."
When asked if he had any explanation for Tevez's behaviour, Mancini said: "It is impossible. I asked him to go in and help with the team. We have 11 players. Maybe he was disappointed because he didn't play (from the start)."
City boss Mancini went as far as to suggest Tevez, who left Manchester United for City in 2009, will not play for the club again. Mancini said: "If I have my way he will be out of the club.''

Man City suspend TevezManchester City have suspended striker Carlos Tevez after he refused to come on as a substitute in their 2-0 loss to Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Tuesday night.
Mancini turned to Tevez in the second half of City's European match at the Allianz Arena as his side trailed 2-0 following a first-half brace from Bayern forward Mario Gomez.
But, speaking after the defeat, the Italian coach claimed Tevez had refused to enter the fray. The Argentine striker later claimed it was a miscommunication, with many fans and pundits slamming his behaviour.
Now the club have acted to confirm that Tevez will not be available for selection for the next two weeks.
''Manchester City can confirm that striker Carlos Tevez has been suspended until further notice for a maximum period of two weeks,'' read a club statement.
''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.''
The Blues confirmed the news following a telephone conference involving senior staff, including chairman Khaldoon al-Mubarak. After the weekend's games, there is an international break, so Tevez would be unavailable until October 15 anyway.
