It is apparent that Mancini is the only person alleging Tevez's refusal to play when he was ask to do so in Germany. Now charges are scaled down.
Tevez has not played for City since they beat Birmingham on 21 September
Striker Carlos Tevez will be charged by Manchester City for refusing to warm up against Bayern Munich when he attends a disciplinary hearing on Friday.
A club investigation failed to prove City boss Roberto Mancini's claim that Tevez did not follow instructions to come on as a substitute.
The 27-year-old will face a number of other charges and City are expected to make an announcement early next week.
Tevez, set to exit the club in January, will appeal against any punishment.
TEVEZ SAGA TIMELINE
Continue reading the main story
12 December 2010 - Tevez says he is going to leave Man City
20 December 2010 - Withdraws transfer request and commits future to club
16 May 2011 - Says he will only stay at club if solution found to "family issues"
8 June 2011 - Tevez says he will never return to "small and wet" Manchester after the end of his contract
4 July 2011 - Tevez confirms he is going to leave City
12 July 2011 - City turn down £35m bid from Brazilian club Corinthians for Tevez
27 September 2011 - City boss Roberto Mancini says that he wants Tevez "out of the club" after the striker allegedly refuses to play against Bayern Munich
28 September 2011 - City suspend Tevez for two weeks
12 October 2011 - City announce that Tevez will face disciplinary proceedings
A senior City figure who has not been part of the initial investigation will chair Friday's hearing.
Tevez can request that club captain Vincent Kompany or a member of the Professional Footballers' Association be present.
Once charged, he can take his case to the City board - with that hearing likely to involve a representative of the club's Abu Dhabi-based owners.
If he is again unsuccessful, the Argentine would be able to appeal to the Premier League - and he could contest that ruling as well - meaning the dispute may not be settled until mid-December.
Both camps accept it would then be best if Tevez moved on during the winter transfer window, although no talks have taken place with potential suitors.
Mancini said after the Champions League defeat in Germany that Tevez was "finished" at City.
The player denied refusing to play, blaming a "misunderstanding" and his adviser Kia Joorabchian insisted a post-match interview in which Tevez said "I didn't feel right to play so I didn't" was mistranslated.
Tevez was signed by then City manager Mark Hughes in the summer of 2009 and has since scored 53 goals in 91 appearances.
In May, he captained the club to FA Cup triumph, with a 1-0 victory over Stoke in the final at Wembley, City's first major trophy in 35 years.
However, he has also twice asked for a transfer away from Eastlands and looked set to get his wish before a proposed £40m move to Brazilian side Corinthians fell through.
He has made five appearances for City this season but only two starts and is yet to score.
