Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has reportedly invited Carlos Tevez to his house to hold clear-the-air talks, according to The Guardian.

Tevez returned to City's training ground on Thursday after he had served a two-week suspension for allegedly refusing to come off the bench during his side's Champions League match against Bayern Munich last month.

The club have since confirmed that the 27-year-old will face disciplinary action for his supposed mutiny.

Tevez, however, has not followed Mancini's request to apologise for his alleged actions at the Allianz Arena.

The former Manchester United striker had said that he would make himself available for his team's weekend match at home to Aston Villa, but it is unclear whether Mancini will include him in his squad.
