MANCHESTER, England — Carlos Tevez has played for Manchester City for the first time in five months, taking part in a reserve team match after ending his feud with the club.

The Argentina striker played the first half for City’s elite development side Tuesday in a 3-1 loss to Preston in a league for reserve teams.

The 28-year-old Tevez recently returned from an unauthorized three-month break in South America.

City manager Roberto Mancini accepted Tevez’s apology for his conduct since refusing to warm up during September’s Champions League match against Bayern Munich and is prepared to restore him to the first team.
