Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini admitted that veteran mid-fielder Yaya Toure remains 100 percent committed to the club, quashing rumours surrounding the Ivorian's future at the club.
The Ivorian international is away on Africa Cup of Nations with his national side and could be absent for four weeks due to his involvement in the tournament.
Pellegrini said that Yaya was 100 percent committed with their team and didn't have any doubts about that, insisting that he was happy at the club, the BBC reported.
Reflecting on Yaya's absence, he further said that though his team would miss him as he is an important player, however, they didn't depend just on one player and must continue fighting for the title with or without Yaya, the report added.
