Roberto Mancini continues to ignore Carlos Tevez?

Roberto Mancini has reportedly refused to come face to face with Carlos Tevez since he returned to Manchester City last week.

The controversial Argentina international arrived back in the North West following over three months in South America.

The 28-year-old caused conflict with the City coach before he even landed on English soil by claiming in an interview that the Italian boss treated him 'like a dog'.

Mancini has ordered the striker to train in the afternoons, which is after the manager's sessions with the first team, according to The Express.

It is understood that Mancini will only consider playing Tevez again if the frontman apologises to him and the other players at the club.
