Manchester City boss, Pep Guardiola, has vowed on Tuesday that
midfielder, Yaya Toure will not play again for the club as long as he
remains manager, until the player’s camp apologises for comments made by
his agent.
Toure’s agent, Dimitri Seluk, had accused the City manager of
“humiliating” the 33-year-old by leaving him out of the club’s Champions
League squad at the beginning of September.
The Ivorian midfielder, who announced his retirement from
international duty on Tuesday, has been left out of all City’s squad
since then.
Guardiola told a press conference on Tuesday, “The day after that, his agent spoke and in that moment, Yaya is out.”
“Unless Mr Dimitri Seluk comes back to the press or to his friends in
the media -because he hasn’t the courage to call me, he goes to the
media – and apologises to Manchester City first of all, then his
team-mates and afterwards the trainer.
“When that happens, Yaya will be part of the group and he will have the chance to play.”
While Guardiola said that the agent should apologise for his
comments, the club later indicated the manager wanted an apology from
Toure.
