Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini has repeated his belief that Carlos Tevez has played his last game for the club.
City found Tevez guilty of five breaches of contract for refusing to warm up in a Champions League match against Bayern Munich in September.
Tevez was suspended for two weeks and had a four-week fine halved after the intervention of the PFA.
He flew home to Argentina early last week without permission from City.
Asked if Tevez could play for the club again, Mancini replied: "I don't think so.
"I know he is in Argentina. I don't know what he is doing."
Premier League leaders City are at home to Newcastle tomorrow and Mancini added: "Why are we continuing to talk about Carlos? We have an important game tomorrow."
