Yaya Toure expected to play Sunday vs. Chelsea despite slight groin injury

Yaya Toure's impressive performance Monday didn't come without injury, as the Manchester City midfielder suffered a slight groin strain after scoring two goals against West Bromwich Albion.

The Ivorian, however, is expected to be fit for Sunday's early-season showdown with Chelsea, as Manchester City looks to increase its advantage on the defending league champions.

Toure was taken out of Monday's match with 10 minutes to go as a precaution.

"He had a little problem in his groin," manager Manuel Pellegrini told reporters after City's 3-0 win. "But I hope on Wednesday he will be okay because it was more a precaution."

The 32-year-old is expected to undergo further tests on his groin Wednesday.
