Manchester city striker Sergio Aguero has spoken of his disappointment that Carlos Tevez has failed to settle his differences with manager Roberto Mancini.

Tevez has not figured in any City squad since the Champions League defeat at Bayern Munich, when the Argentina international failed to take the field of play.

Mancini claimed Tevez refused to play, while the forward suggested there had been a misunderstanding and he simply refused to warm up for a second time. The club held an investigation and meted out a fine and suspension.

Mancini suggested at the time of the incident in September that Tevez would never play under him again, but has since softened his stance and claimed an apology from the player would lead to him drawing a line under the affair.

The pair have yet to settle their differences, much to Aguero's disappointment.

"What happened is very sad," Aguero said on ESPNDeportes.com. "Carlitos is now training at the club, but not with us.

"It is a shame. Hopefully, in these days or the next month it can be solved and he will be with us."
