Manchester City have revealed that they have yet to hear from Carlos Tevez after the striker missed training to fly to Argentina without the club's permission.

A representative for the striker has said that Tevez tried to contact manager Roberto Mancini but was unsuccessful in his attempts.

The 27-year-old was recently punished by the club after he refused to warm up during a Champions League match against Bayern Munich in September.

"We have asked Carlos to get in touch today but have not yet heard from him," said a City spokesman.

Tevez reportedly has until Monday to get in touch with the club.
