Kolo Toure allowed to train with Manchester City

Kolo Toure has been given the go-ahead to train with his Manchester City teammates, despite currently serving a six-month ban.

The ban relates to the defender testing positive for bendroflumethiazide, a dieting aid that Toure claimed he had taken accidently.

The 30-year-old was not allowed to train with his colleagues, but an appeal by City, asking that he take part in sessions at their Carrington training complex, has been apporved by the FA.

The Ivory Coast international moved to Eastlands from Arsenal in 2009 for £16m.
