The PFA reject Carlos Tevez's fine imposed by Manchester City.

The PFA has backed Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez after he was fined four weeks' wages for disobeying orders.

The Argentine has been charged by the club for allegedy refusing to warm up during their Champions League match against Bayern Munich last month.

The player was present at a hearing last week with a PFA chief Gordon Taylor when he was given the fine.

However, the punishment can only be sanctioned with the consent of the PFA who are against the measure.

"Gordon Taylor attended the hearing with Carlos Tevez on October 21 and was privy to all the evidence presented to the hearing and Carlos's response," read a PFA statement. "The PFA's opinion, based on all the evidence presented, is that Carlos Tevez never refused to play for the club.

"This is accepted by the club in that the charge against Carlos made at the hearing was not one of refusing to play. As such the PFA considers that there is no justification for a fine other than up to the prescribed sanction of two weeks' wages agreed by the FA, the Premier League and PFA.

"The PFA has informed the Manchester City football club accordingly and Carlos will continue to be supported by the PFA in this regard."

Tevez was also given a two-week suspension by City which he has already served.
