Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola insists Yaya Toure is not fit enough for selection.
Guardiola insists the 33-year-old Ivory Coast international will get a chance when he has proved he is match fit - that is if Toure "wants to stay" at the club.
"Yaya is trying. He loves to play," said Guardiola.
"I have spoken to him about the situation. He is a player with huge quality.
"I have a lot of respect for him. I know when he increases his intensity without the ball he will be part of the group - if he wants to stay."
