Yaya Toure a new addition to Man City's CL squad

Pep Guardiola said Yaya Toure will be recalled to the Manchester City squad for the Champions League knock-out stages.Yaya was excluded from the City squad for the group stage after Guardiola decided the Ivorian did not fit in his plans.

That decision caused Toure's agent, Dimitri Seluk, to hit out at Guardiola in the press, which in turn lead to Toure being excluded from match day squads until Seluk apologised. 

Toure then lost 8 kilograms of weight as he worked to get back into the team and he has proven to be a key player for City since earning a recall at Crystal Palace in November.

A season-ending knee injury for Ilkay Gundogan was also a big factor for the recall of Toure who will now be added to City's squad list at the expense of the German midfielder.
