MANCHESTER City suspended Carlos Tevez on Wednesday while it investigates his conduct in the Champions League match at Bayern Munich in which manager Roberto Mancini said the striker had refused to come on as a substitute.
Mancini told reporters that the Argentine had ignored his instruction to warm up early in the second half of Tuesday's 0-2 defeat and that Tevez was "finished" while he was manager.
Tevez, who has found controversy follow him from club to club, denied refusing to play and the English Premier League outfit is now trying to get to the bottom of what happened.
"Tevez has been suspended until further notice for a maximum period of two weeks," the club said.
"The player's suspension is pending a full review into his alleged conduct during Tuesday evening's 0-2 defeat to Bayern Munich.
"The player will not be considered for selection or take part in training whilst the review is under way."
Tevez, who is ruled out of tomorrow's league trip to Blackburn Rovers before the two-week international break, earlier sought to placate City fans whom he has already angered over the past year with his open desire to leave the club.
"There was some confusion on the bench and I believe my position may have been misunderstood," he said in a statement, according to local media.
If Mancini sticks to his guns, Tevez's words will fall on deaf ears at a club whose patience he has tested earlier.
