“The day after that, his representative spoke and in that moment, Yaya is out,” Guardiola told a press conference.
“Unless Mr Dimitri Seluk comes behind to a press or to his friends in a media – given he hasn’t a bravery to call me, he goes to a media and apologises to Manchester City initial of all, thereafter his team-mates and thereafter a trainer. Guardiola continued, “When that happens, Yaya will be partial of a organisation and he will have a possibility to play.”
Ivory Coast fable Toure retires from general football
While Guardiola pronounced that Seluk should contend contemptible for his comments, a bar after indicated a manager wanted an reparation from Toure.
Seluk had said: “If he [Guardiola] wins a Champions League for City this season, thereafter we will transport to England and we will contend on radio that Pep Guardiola is a best manager in a world. The representative added,” However if City don’t win a Champions League, thereafter we wish that Pep has got a balls to contend that he was wrong to disparage a good actor like Yaya.”
The 33-year-old player, who is in a final year of his agreement during a Etihad Stadium, has featured only once for City given Guardiola’s arrival.
The former Bayern Munich manager added: “I can't accept as a manager that each agent, when his actor doesn’t play, goes to a media and speaks.
“I know how most Dimitri Seluk loves Yaya Toure. If he loves him, uncover me by apologising to Manchester City for what he pronounced in a papers.”

City wanting Toure from Champions League squad
“I can't suppose in my day when a player’s representative would go to a media and pronounce opposite Johan Cruyff. Maybe it’s a new era, though I’m from a aged generation, and an old-generation representative has to make his players his pursuit and a manager his job.” The former Champions joining manager said.
“Today agents trust they are some-more than they are. If we have a problem, we can talk. Until he speaks, Yaya isn’t going to play.”
Guardiola pronounced a preference to replace Toure from his Champions League patrol had not been an easy one.
