da cassino: PFA chief executive Gordon Taylor has admitted that Carlos Tevez may be in line for new charges and fines from Manchester City due to his decision to travel back to Argentina.
The South American has had a controversial last year at the Etihad Stadium, handing in transfer requests and on numerous occasions expressing his desire to leave the Premier League club.
The latest indiscretion saw the striker refuse to warm up against Bayern Munich in the Champions League in late September, with City suspending the forward for two weeks and docking him four-weeks wages.
Tevez has been training by himself on his return to the club, but after being denied permission to return to his homeland, decided to go against his employer’s wishes and flew back to Buenos Aires on Tuesday night.
Taylor has tried to defend Tevez in the past, but fears the hot-headed forward may be liable for further sanctions from Roberto Mancini’s side.
“Bearing in mind what has happened recently, and the fact he was clearly told on more than one occasion that he was not to return to Argentina and that he was on his fitness regime here, he has flagrantly breached that instruction and that goes to the heart of the contract,” Taylor told The Telegraph.
“That could be gross misconduct in anybody’s language. I don’t want to predetermine, but I’m very concerned. It is a serious situation and one that the PFA aren’t happy about and, I assume, neither are Manchester City,” he concluded.
The in-discipline by Tevez is sure to influence City’s decision over his future, with a January sale now looking very likely.
