UPDATE: It is difficult to keep up with the repercussions after Carlos Tevez apparently refused to play for Manchester City as a substitute on Tuesday in a Champions League match against Bayern Munich.
The Argentine player said he didn't refuse to play but he has already been suspended for two weeks by the club. Those two weeks will be used to review the situation before further measures, if any, are taken.
The Independent 's Ian Herbert believes Manchester City is ready to sack Tevez, while FIFA vice-president Jim Boyce is quoted by The Telegraph saying the player should be banned by FIFA from taking an active part in soccer.
Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini is ready to speak with the club's board and give his version of the story, says Sky Sports. The same media outlet informs the club's chairman Sheikh Mansour is extremely disappointed with the events that surrounded Carlos Tevez on Tuesday.
Finally, the BBC confirms that a Northern Irish club named Limavady United has approached Manchester City to propose taking Carlos Tevez on loan for the remainder of the season.

Carlos Tevez is in the news again and for the wrong reasons. After he publicly said during the summer that he wanted to leave Manchester City because he was homesick, he couldn't secure a move to another club and in the end he had to stay at the club.
Unhappy now at his reduced role after he gained some weight in the off-season too, he refused to came on as a substitute in Manchester City's match in Germany against Bayern Munich for the Champions League.
Manager Roberto Mancini said Tevez will never play again for Manchester City as long as he is the manager. The Argentine striker, on the other hand, insists there was a confusion and he never refused to play, though the cameras showed him talking to one coach and staying on the bench as Mancini pointed a finger at him.
In the middle of all this controversy, a report in Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport suggests Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho would welcome Tevez on loan at some point this season.
