The entire Ivory Coast holds its breath following an injury to Yaya Touré during the Liverpool-Manchester City match (3-2). In the 18th minute of play, Touré clutching his knee after a missed shot, raising concerns about the severity of his injury. Moments later, he was forced to leave the pitch, and his absence seemed to impact his team’s performance, resulting in a loss.
Manuel Pellegrini, the Manchester City coach, added to the worry by suggesting that Touré might not play again for the remainder of the season. He stated, “Yaya will miss the next match. But it is also possible that he will not play again for the whole season,” without providing specific details about the nature of Touré’s injury.
This news undoubtedly concerns Sabri Lamouchi, the coach of the Ivory Coast national team, as Touré plays a crucial role as one of the driving forces behind the Elephants. With the World Cup just 60 days away, all eyes will be on Touré’s condition and the impact it may have on his availability for the tournament.
