Yaya Toure vows to continue working hard for Manchester City
Saturday 3 December 2016 13:13, UK
Yaya Toure has vowed to keep working hard following his Manchester City recall.
The midfielder was frozen out of the first-team picture by manager Pep Guardiola in September following some controversial comments by his outspoken agent, Dimitri Seluk.
That stand-off ended when Toure issued an apology last month and the 33-year-old was brought back in for the Premier League victory at Crystal Palace a fortnight ago.
He retained his place for last week's win at Burnley and was among the substitutes for Saturday's clash with Chelsea.
Toure told City's matchday programme: "On a personal level, I have to keep working because Pep is a very, very professional person and he really loves football.
"I think that the most important thing for me is to keep working hard - those who work hardest always have more opportunities to play. I'm delighted to play, I always want to play and help my team-mates.
"I was prepared mentally and I knew that one day my manager would need me again. I am just very happy to be playing football and I hope I can help us get three very important points against Chelsea today."
