No Way Back for Tevez, Says Mancini

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini reiterated his stance that there is no chance Carlos Tevez can play for the English Premier League club again.

The Argentina striker, who was suspended for two weeks and fined a fortnight's wages for refusing to warm up during a Champions League game against Bayern Munich, flew to his native country without permission last week and still has not returned.

Mancini said after the Bayern match that Tevez was "finished" as a City player and when asked on Friday if the situation had changed, Mancini says "I don't think so."

Mancini says the club hasn't managed to make contact with the player, adding "I know he is in Argentina. I don't know what he is doing."
