Toure absent for City

04 March 2011 10:30
Kolo Toure will be the notable absentee for Manchester City's Barclays Premier League clash with Wigan at Eastlands. The Ivorian is suspended indefinitely pending a full inquiry into his failed drugs test and under Football Association rules will not be considered until the case is resolved. Vincent Kompany is expected to return in central defence following a hip problem, while Nigel de Jong may be fit to claim a place on the bench after a six-game absence with an ankle injury.
