Manchester City's club captain will now be out for four to six weeks with a knee injury, but back-in-favour Ivorian will not deputise in defence
Pep Guardiola has ruled out the possibility of using Yaya Toure as a centre-back for Manchester City despite Vincent Kompany facing four to six weeks on the sidelines.
Toure was recalled to the City line-up last weekend following months on the sidelines as a result of comments made by his controversial agent, Dmitri Seluk.
Guardiola used Toure as a centre-back in Barcelona’s Champions League final triumph against Manchester United in 2009, and it has been suggested that he could put the Ivorian there again given Kompany’s latest injury set-back.
