Managers are waiting for forward Carlos Tevez to return to the team on Monday.
The footballer left for his native Argentina last week without the club's permission. He was demanded to come to Manchester by Monday at the latest.
Tevez's representatives do not comment on the situation in detail, but claim that their client unsuccessfully tried to reach coach Roberto Mancini several times before flying to Argentina. It is certain that the player is facing serious trouble.
A few weeks ago, the Argentine was already fined two weeks' wages for violating five points of his contract during the Champions League match with Bayern Munich. It is said that he refused to enter the field despite receiving the coach's order.
It is said that Tevez's latest escapade could lead "Man City" officials to terminate his contract. However, this does not mean that he could sign a contract with another club without a transfer fee - the English would retain the registration documents, which they would relinquish for about 35 million euros.
