Man City boss Mancini confirms Kolo Toure disciplinary hearing

Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini has confirmed defender Kolo Toure is facing a disciplinary hearing.

Toure will face an internal disciplinary hearing next week over his failed drugs test.

The Ivory Coast international served a six-month suspension after testing positive for a banned substance earlier this year.

But, unlike Carlos Tevez, the 30-year-old will remain in contention for selection.

Mancini said: "I think Kolo is a different situation. It was a mistake - a totally different situation.

"In the other case I think that every player should have good behaviour, always."

When asked whether Toure was facing a disciplinary hearing, Mancini said: "I think so, yes."
