City hoping for Toure availability at weekend

Manchester City defender Kolo Toure is a possibility for the trip to West Ham despite limping away from last weekend's action. The City centre-half lasted just half-an-hour of City's 1-0 victory over Bolton before departing with a calf injury.

But the problem is not severe according to boss Roberto Mancini, who told the club's official website: "With Kolo we will have to wait to see. His calf was very sore after Saturday, but it does not look like it is a serious injury.

"Now we are starting to play every few days again we need to have all the players available.

"We had a lot of injuries at the start of the season, and now that we have so many games coming up I hope that we don't start getting many more."
