Toure set to miss the rest of the season following Sunday's injury.
The
season is almost certainly over for Manchester City's Yaya Toure
after he limped off injured during his sides 3-2 defeat to Liverpool
on Sunday with what seemed like a hamstring injury. According to
City's manager, Toure will most likely miss the remainder of the season. The Ivorian international injured himself after hitting a
shot high and wide into the Anfield Road end as City looked to reason
after Raheem Sterling fired Liverpool ahead. Liverpool will later
double their score 7 minutes after Yaya Toure was replaced via Reds
defender Martin Skrtel. City fought back to draw level in the the
second half, however, Philippe Coutino scored twelve minutes to
stoppage time clenching the victory for the night.
Needless
to say, Toure's injury is a big blow for City especially with only 6
games to go in the season, City lie 7 points away form leaders
Liverpool with only 2 games in hand. The World Cup bound player will
miss out on home fixtures against Sunderland, West Brom, Aston Vila
and West Ham as well as the two all important away games against Everton who are
also in contention for the fourth spot on the table.
The African player of the year had
an amazing season scoring 22 goals in all competitions, lets hope
City will find a suitable replacement for this amazing striker.
