Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has said he had "no problem" with Carlos Tevez and the striker could be considered for selection in "two or three weeks".
Tevez said in a statement released by City on Tuesday night that he was "sincerely and unreservedly" sorry for his actions in taking an unauthorised three-month leave of absence from the club. The Argentinian also withdrew his appeal against a fine of six weeks' wages.
After a 4-0 defeat of Porto put City into the last 16 of the Europa League, Mancini said Tevez would be available once he deems him match fit. The Italian told ESPN: "One week after Munich I called him to my house and said, 'Carlos, apologise to everyone and it's finished'. I have no problem. I think he needs two to three weeks to train, then some games."
