Despite being left out of Manchester City’s squad to face Steaua Bucharest, Yaya Toure’s agent Dmitri Seluk insists that his client will prove he is good enough to feature in Pep Guardiola’s plans.
The 33-year-old midfielder has become another high-profile victim of Guardiola’s reign, alongside Samir Nasri and Wilfried Bony, having been left out of the squad for Saturday’s 2-1 win over Sunderland.
‘Pep is the best manager in the world and I just hope he gives Yaya the chance to prove he is still good enough for City,’ Seluk told Sky Sports.
‘Yaya is the perfect professional and he will do his job. City fans know he will do his best. He has not been included against Sunderland or Bucharest, but that’s okay.
‘He is fit to play right now. Guardiola has to learn all about the players he has available. The performance against Sunderland was far from perfect.
‘This is a very good process for Yaya. It will allow him in training and then in matches that he is still a wonderful player. But there is no talk of a transfer. Yaya will stay and fight.’
