Toure looks towards Ivory Coast comeback in 2016

Yaya Toure is eying a return to international football with Ivory Coast when his country resume their Africa Cup of Nations qualification campaign next March.

Manchester City star Toure has taken a break from international commitments since captaining Ivory Coast to glory in the continental competition in February.

Toure is not a part of Michel Dussuyer's squad for the back-to-back World Cup qualifiers against Liberia over the coming week, but the 32-year-old told his national federation's official website that he is not closing the door on his international career.

"I am not part of the squad list for the games against Liberia, but my heart is with them," Toure said.
