Yaya Toure will be available for Manchester City’s meeting with Aston Villa, confirms Manuel Pellegrini.
The Ivorian, who scored the decisive spot-kick at Wembley in the Capital One Cup final Sunday, missed the devastating 3-0 loss to Liverpool at Anfield with a heel injury.
The defeat saw City fail to close the gaps on their title rivals, with both Arsenal and Tottenham losing. City currently find themselves in fourth position, level on points with Manchester United and just a point ahead of West Ham United.
The Blues need to get back to winning ways against bottom side Aston Villa at the weekend and have been boosted by the return of Toure – who has been back at his best with impressive displays against Dynamo Kiev and Liverpool.
There are no fresh injury concerns for City, however, Fabian Delph, Samir Nasri and Kevin De Bruyne are all still sidelined for the fixture.
