Toure Is Out For Two Weeks

The highly talented and energetic Ivorian international and Manchester City midfielder, Yaya Toure (31), is out for about two weeks due to the muscle injury he suffered on Sunday, during the much anticipated Premier League encounter against table leader Liverpool.

Man City lost the game 3 - 2 at the Anfield, which is fast becoming once more a fortress like in the old days, when teams dread going there, because of the massive fans support.

Toure who has been simply superb for the club this season, will most likely miss the next three games, starting with the Wednesday's home league game against Sunderland, who is at the bottom of the table.

He will also miss the next match, which is at home against West Brom on the 21st of April, and probably the away match against Crystal Palace on the 27th of April.

The football star who has already scored 22 goals this season, suffered what appeared to be a groin injury in the 20th minute of the game and was immediately changed by  Javi Garcia.

The citizens' boss Mr Manuel Pellegrini, said after the game that the injury may not be as bad as they initially thought, but in any case the player needs about two weeks to recover.

''Maybe it's not as bad as we thought at the beginning, but he needs at least 10 days or two weeks to recover,'' Pellegrini said.

Luckily for Toure and Man City, the injury is not a big one that would take him out for the rest of the season and the World Cup.

As I mentioned above, if Pellegrini is correct about the duration he will be out, that is 10 days or two weeks, then he will be back for the last three games of the season. Read also: melvinsports.blogspot.com

The games are the away match against Everton on the 3rd of May, the home match against Aston Villa on the 7th of May and the home match against West Ham United on the 11th of May. I wish him a speedy recovery.
