Man City midfielder Toure on CSKA pitch: I've played on worse in Africa

Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure isn't panicking over the state of the CSKA Moscow pitch ahead of tonight's Champions League clash.

The Ivorian says he's played on worse.

Toure said: "I have seen worse pitches in Africa so we will just get on with it. The most important thing is that we let nothing get in the way of putting things right after what happened against Bayern. You can have a bad, bad day sometimes and we had one against Bayern.

"We have a new manager who wants to improve us and we are getting better in all areas. We are playing well and are coming into this game off the back of a really good win at West Ham.

"We want to keep that momentum going by dominating against CSKA and winning the game by playing attractive football."
