Tevez fined four weeks' wages by Man City

City said in a statement, following a disciplinary hearing that took place on Friday, that the Argentine international had committed five separate breaches of contract.

They included "an obligation to participate in any matches in which the player is selected to play... when directed by a club official."

There had been widespread media speculation Tevez might never play for City again under Italian Mancini but the player's adviser also said there was mis-translation at the time of the incident.

Tevez's career has been marked with controversy though few have doubted his commitment on the field.

Tevez was also given a written warning over his future conduct on Tuesday and City have written to the Professional Footballers' Association for ratification of the fine.
