Will Micah, Dzeko, Balotelli, and others would welcome him back? I don't think so.
Richards: Tevez in the wrong
Richards told The People: "Carlos' reaction in Munich was wrong. It was something he shouldn't have done. There was always going to be a bit of tension because Carlos is a top player and hasn't been getting in the team. But there was no sign that he was going to do what he did.
"I like Carlos. He's probably still the best player that I have played with and I'll always be grateful he came to City and helped us achieve what we did last season. He's been our best player for the last couple of years and won't be happy the manager has been picking other strikers ahead of him.
"But we are a top team now. We can't just be about one or two players because if you want to challenge for the big trophies it has to be about the strength of your squad. There's a lesson for us to learn here. If we want to be a top team then as individuals we have to sacrifice ourselves.
"I went through it myself. I might not be a big name like Carlos Tevez but I am an England international and I thought I should be playing in every game. You do get emotional. Your pride does hurt. I found it hard when I wasn't in the team and at times I did struggle to just keep my head down and say nothing.
"I've been rotating with Pablo Zabaleta. At left-back it's been Kolarov and Clichy. It's the same with the midfielders and the forwards. Aguero and Dzeko have been on fire this season and when Balotelli came on last week against Everton he scored an important goal.
"I thought Carlos was just waiting for his chance to show what he could do. You're never happy if you aren't playing, but we've got a big squad and we've all just got to use it."
