Barcelona hoping to 'minimise' strength of Man City's Toure - Iniesta

Barcelona's Andres Iniesta has identified Yaya Toure as Manchester City's danger man ahead of Wednesday night's Champions League clash.

The Ivory Coast midfielder returns to the City line-up in Wednesday night's Round of 16 second leg at the Camp Nou for his first European outing since November.

Toure is back to take on Barca following a three-game suspension and Iniesta is well aware of his qualities.

"City are even more dangerous with Toure in the team," he said.

"His physical strength is a very important quality and makes them more decisive. We hope we can minimise his virtues."

Barcelona lead the reigning Premier League champions 2-1 after their first leg win at the Etihad Stadium last month.
