Yaya is a professional and so he will do everything he is asked to do. "Perhaps Pep will think he is good enough to play in the final 10 minutes of a League Cup game against a third division team – and, yes, I am joking."But what I can tell you is that Yaya will spend the season at City. He will not be leaving in January. He hopes that he will get the chance to prove himself." Guardiola reportedly considered including Toure ahead of Vincent Kompany before his injury-prone club captain came through a behind-closed-doors friendly last week. Nevertheless, Kompany will not be rushed back into action with the Manchester derby on the horizon, with the 30-year-old required to show acceptable enzyme levels in his blood following tests designed to tackle his susceptibility to muscular strains over recent seasons. "Every day Vincent is much better but still the blood tests are not perfect," Guardiola told reporters."And until the blood tests are perfect, he is not going to play with us. You have to avoid a situation where he starts he gets injured again. "Okay, you have to accept the injury if it's because of football, but not for the reasons that have happened to Vincent in the last three years."He has missed a lot of games. It is important for us because he is good."He had something in his muscle that was not right. In the right moment, he is going to tell us the muscle is okay."</blockquote>
