In a recent interview, Manchester City’s defensive midfielder Yaya Toure said that he is fully fit and ready for his team’s last two games. If the Citizens can beat Aston Villa today and West Ham on Sunday, the Premier League title is theirs.
The Ivory Coast player left during the game against Everton and had worried most fans. As one of the best, if not the best, defensive midfielders in the world, Toure is crucial for City’s success.

The African midfielder stated:
“It was very important I came off […] you have to be at 100 per cent for these games and coming back is always difficult, especially at the end of the season, but I feel good."

Finally, with regards to the upcoming games, Toure said:
“We definitely expect to win it - as a team at the top, you always expect to win. We have worked so hard this year and, if we don't win, it would be a massive disappointment for us, for the fans and for the club as well.”
