Carlos Tevez accepts Munich charge

Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez will not contest his misconduct charge.



City found the 27-year-old Argentine guilty of committing five breaches of contract in a Champions League game against Bayern Munich in September.



Former captain Tevez was accused by manager Roberto Mancini of refusing to come on as a substitute, during the second half of the 2-0 loss at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany.



However, in a statement released the following day, Tevez said the dispute was a misunderstanding and confusion on the bench.



City last month fined Tevez four weeks' wages, later reduced to two weeks' following intervention by the Professional Footballers' Association.
