Suspended Tevez pays the price

CARLOS TEVEZ has been suspended for two weeks by Manchester City. The Blues confirmed the news last night following a telephone conference involving senior staff, including chairman Khaldoon al-Mubarak.

It comes in the wake of Tevez’s refusal to play against Bayern Munich on Tuesday night and seems certain to be the start of a drawn-out disciplinary process that will end a stormy two-year period with the club.

“Manchester City can confirm that striker Carlos Tevez has been suspended until further notice for a maximum period of two weeks,” said a short statement released by City last night.
