Guardiola 'would like' Toure return but doesn't see it happening

Pep Guardiola says he “would like” to call upon Yaya Toure for Manchester City’s EFL Cup clash with Manchester United but does not appear prepared to make it happen.

Toure has played just one match for City this season — the second leg of the Champions League qualifier with Steaua Bucharest — and has been told he has no way back into the team until he apologizes for comments made to the press by his agent.

Goal UK understands City was keen to sell Toure throughout the summer but could not find a suitable buyer.
