The former City captain, suspended for two weeks by the club and the subject of an internal investigation into his behaviour, has denied manager Roberto Mancini’s claim that he refused to replace Samir Nasri as a 69th minute substitute in the Allianz Arena.
City have launched a detailed probe into the events in Munich, however, which will involve coaching staff and Tévez’s fellow substitutes being asked to give their account of the incident.
