Toure hails striker return

Yaya Toure is happy to welcome Carlos Tevez back into the Manchester City fold.

City scored 93 times on their way to a first title in 44 years last term, and that was without Tevez for half a season after he went AWOL following his well-publicised spat with Mancini in Munich. For some, the stain on his character from last year's sorry events can never be removed. Thankfully for Tevez, his team-mates do not share that view. "Of course (the players like him)," said Toure. "He is a fantastic guy and a fantastic professional. "He made a mistake. But the most important thing when you make a mistake you have to apologise. He apologised to everyone. Now he has come back and wants to show he will give everything for the team."
