Manchester City boss Mark Hughes was disappointed with how Elano went about publicly complaining of a lack of first team opportunities. "I had to remind Elano he actually has played quite often this year," said a disappointed Hughes on Sky Sports News.
"It was an internal matter and has been dealt with, so we draw a line over it and we move on.
"The mistake Elano made is he went the wrong way about it.
"I always say my door is open, you can knock on my door and we'll discuss it. He just chose the wrong option."
