Yaya Toure says he will play for Ivory Coast again when the time is right.

The Manchester City midfielder, 31, hasn't represented his country since they won the Africa Cup of Nations in February and is not in the squad for the two-legged World Cup qualifier against Liberia this month.

But he told Â鶹Éç World Service reporter John Bennett that he will return eventually: "My future is there. When the time is going to come, everyone will know it."
