Man City axe Yaya Toure again

Yaya Toure has been left out for Manchester City’s Champions League opener at Feyenoord but manager Pep Guardiola has refused to make clear why.

Guardiola, speaking in Rotterdam ahead of tonight’s Champions League opener, simply said a “sporting decision” had been made to omit the veteran midfielder from his squad.

The City boss added that the full reason would be kept between himself and the player.
