Man City boss Pellegrini will take Toure to Russia

Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini says he'll take Yaya Toure to Russia for their Champions League meeting with CSKA Moscow.

Toure copped racial abuse there last season which resulted in UEFA closing their part of their ground.

"He does not have a problem to go to Moscow," said Pellegrini.

"At that moment he said what he thinks about it and everyone of us supports him because I don't think those things can happen on a football pitch.

"That happened last year and UEFA has changed the rules not to allow to those things."
