Toure faces ban as City struggle to cope

Norwich 0 Manchester City 0

The pair clashed in stoppage time at Carrow Road, as City failed to score again and missed a chance to regain top spot in the Premier League. After contesting a high ball, Toure appeared to kick the Norwich striker in the back as they landed, and although referee Jon Moss took no action, the FA may punish the Ivorian midfielder retrospectively once they have seen the referee’s report today.

Certainly TV replays showed Toure making contact with Van Wolfswinkel’s back, and if he is found guilty of violent conduct Toure could get a three-match suspension in a month when City are fighting for trophies on four fronts and already struggling to cope with missing players.
