Man City send midfield pair Toure, Delph back to England

Manchester City have released midfield pair Yaya Toure and Fabian Delph from their tour squad.

The Daily Mail says Yaya Toure was sent home from City's tour of Australia hours after being pole axed by Real Madrid's Keylor Navas, with Delph also heading back to the north west.

The Ivorian was on the wrong end of a collision with the Real goalkeeper, who had raced of his line to punch clear during the friendly in Melbourne.

City have decided to send the midfielders back to England - meaning they will miss their side's trip to Vietnam, while Delph faces a race to be fit for the start of the new season after he was carried off on his debut.
