Tevez opts to accept misconduct ruling

Carlos Tevez will not contest Manchester City’s ruling that he was guilty of misconduct in the Champions League defeat to Bayern Munich, it is understood.

City last month fined Tevez four weeks’ wages, later reduced to two weeks’ following intervention by the Professional Footballers’ Association, after a disciplinary panel found the player guilty of five breaches of contract relating to his behaviour on the bench during the match in Munich on September 27.
