Mancini opens door for Tevez

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini will accept Carlos Tevez’s apology and the Argentinian could be back in action in “two or three weeks”.

On Tuesday Tevez said sorry for his conduct in recent months having returned to Manchester from his unauthorised three-month break in South America last week.

The 28-year-old striker had been in dispute with the club since he refused to warm up during last September’s infamous Champions League defeat at Bayern Munich.
