SAO PAULO, Aug 24 (SW) - Argentine international Carlos Tevez has missed training for Corinthians and it is now thought he won’t return to the club again.

Although Tevez featured in his clubs 1-0 win over Botafogo, the striker has suggested that he won’t feature for Corinthians again and has now angered manager Emerson Leao.

“Tevez has missed other training sessions so this is nothing new. From what I have seen, the team played 45 games last year and he played only 24,” commented Leao.

He added, “Our relationship has never got started. I'm not going to make allowances for those that don't deserve it.

“Does anyone understand what Tevez says when he speaks, because I don't.”

Tevez joined the Brazilian club in 2004, but made his name at Boca Juniors. The 22 year old has been linked with a move to Manchester United, Chelsea and Bayern Munich.
