Yaya Toure comes out of retirement
Out-of-favour Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure has made himself available again for selection to the Ivory Coast national team.
This comes about 15 months (since September 2016) after the 34-year-old quit international football.
Yaya took to Twitter to reveal his decision to reverse his retirement as he aims to make a return for the Elephants in the New Year.
