Man City No2 Cousillas: No issues with Toure

Manchester City No2 Ruben Cousillas insists there's nothing to read into Yaya Toure's poor performance in defeat to Champions League opponents Bayern Munich.

Toure, who won the Champions League with Barcelona in 2009, struggled to make an impact against the German champions and has rarely managed to replicate his Premier League form on the biggest stage for City.

Cousillas said: "He was absolutely fit and physically without problem.

"It's the first game, we have only just begun. There are many games ahead and we don't have to be too sad. We can still be first in the group."
