Medical: Toure uncertain for Bilbao game

Barcelona defensive midfielder and Ivory Coast international Yaya Touré (25) returned this week to Barcelona with an injury.

The Ivorian suffers a problem at the internal meniscus of his right knee.

On Tuesday Touré didn't particpate in the training session, yesterday he did some exercises. His availability for the Sunday game against Athletic Bilbao depends on the evolution in the coming days.

What is this? Is he injured like Ronaldinho was last season, or is he actually injured? Hmmm...One cant help but think that this is perhaps a classic sweep-under-the-old-rugg, to cover up some schism between Yaya and Barca. Either way it's a pity!

Yaya Toure, are you turning yourself into another dinho, running away from games, making excuses now !

Come on guys, he could quite easily be injured. There is no need to jump to conclusions that he is faking injury....he WANTS to play remember!!!

""Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola is prepared to cash in on Yaya Toure.

AS says Guardiola doesn't see the Ivory Coast international as a key part of his plans and is willing to sell him in the winter market.

Toure has returned to Barcelona from international duty, but is yet to publicly discuss comments about wanting to play for Juventus - which were made earlier this wee""

A pity cause I think he would have played since Busquets has played two games with Spain under-21.

I would hold off on the Ronaldinho comparisons. Let's not throw Yaya under the bus so soon.

People should remember that when he injured his back last season, he took injections to be able to play. Anybody who's had a back injury of the type that Yaya had, and has even tried to get out of bed, will know what dedication that gesture showed.

This is a bad time to be injured, but I don't have any doubt that he is injured. He played every bit as hard as anyone last season, leaving his guts on the pitch every match.

I'm bummed that he wants to leave, but Ronaldinho comparisons are, in my estimation, unfair.

if you play an African qualifier, you need a miracle not to get injured,. but since thay are talking on weather he plays against Belbao or not, I suppose his injury should be minimal, anyway it's unfortunate but here comes the advantage of having such a deep squad, "dont really like to compare with the last season" but you know what I wana say.
