Yaya Toure not leaving Manchester City

Manuel Pellegrini has leapt to the defence of under-fire Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure and says the Ivory Coast international is going nowhere.
The 31-year-old has failed to recapture his form of last season, when he scored 24 goals in all competitions, 20 of which came in the Premier League.
Toure has scored eight Premier League goals this term and has been earmarked as a primary transfer target for Inter Milan and former City manager Roberto Mancini.
Yaya is a very important player for our team. Maybe all of you are waiting for me to criticise him or sacrifice him.
Yaya will continue playing here because he is a very important player for me and the squad and the fans for everyone.
City could find themselves 15 points off league leaders Chelsea if results go against them this weekend, but despite a lacklustre campaign Pellegrini refuted suggestions his positon could be under threat.
