Carlos Tevez jets back to Manchester City tomorrow.
The Sun says the Argentinian striker is still waiting to learn his fate over his alleged mutiny during the Champions League tie at Bayern Munich.
City's internal probe has been hampered by players and staff being away during the international break.
And, last night, they were still tying up the loose ends on their investigation.
They hope to reach a decision over his punishment by the time his initial two-week ban ends tomorrow.
While sacking him remains unlikely, City boss Roberto Mancini has made it clear he does not want his former captain to ever play for him again.
