( CNN ) -- Carlos Tevez will face disciplinary action from Manchester City after the Argentina striker 's apparent refusal to come on as a substitute during a European Champions League match with Bayern Munich . City said in a statement on Wednesday that Tevez , 27 , had a case to answer in relation to `` breach of contract '' , having conducted an investigation into the events which occurred during the club 's 2-0 defeat at the Allianz Arena on September 27 . The former club captain was suspended by City following the incident , but the statement also confirmed Tevez was expected to return to training with manager Roberto Mancini 's team on Thursday . Tevez strike is sad for soccer . `` The club has now reached a stage in its investigation where it has concluded that there is a case for Carlos Tevez to answer of alleged breaches of contract , '' read the statement on City 's official website . `` Accordingly , the club has informed him that he will face disciplinary proceedings and the hearing will be convened shortly . Carlos will be required to report to Roberto Mancini for training on Thursday . '' British newspaper The Guardian reported every player and coach interviewed during City 's investigation refused to back-up Tevez 's claims that the events in Munich were the result of a `` misunderstanding '' between himself and Italian coach Mancini . The publication goes on to claim Tevez will be hit with a six-week fine , which could be as much as $ 2.3 million dollars given the former Corinthians star 's alleged $ 392,000-per-week wages . The multi-million dollar figure would represent the largest sanction ever handed to a footballer in Britain . Tevez denied he had refused to take to the pitch against Bayern , saying in his own statement following the match with the German outfit : `` I wish to state that I never refused to play . `` There was some confusion on the bench and I believe my position may have been misunderstood . Going forward I am ready to play when required and to fulfil my obligations . '' Tevez suspended by Manchester City . One-time West Ham forward Tevez has been consistently linked with a move away from City over the past 12 months , after handing in a transfer request in December 2010 . The former Boca Juniors players also saw a move back to Corinthians fall through in July , with the Brazilian outfit claiming there was insufficient time to complete the deal before the close of the transfer window . Tevez is yet to score for City this season having been their top marksman last campaign with 20 English Premier League goals . The Citziens return to domestic action this weekend , with Aston Villa visiting the Etihad Stadium on Saturday .
