MANCHESTER, England (AP) -Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez has decided to stay in his native Argentina instead of attending a scheduled meeting with the Premier League leaders to discuss his future.

City had asked the 27-year-old forward to return to England.

Tevez has scored 44 goals in 69 Premier League appearances for City but has not played since apparently refusing an instruction from manager Roberto Mancini to come on as a substitute against Bayern Munich in the Champions League in September.

City fined Tevez four weeks of wages last month but was forced to halve it after England's players union intervened.
