Manchester City's Touré brothers ruled out of FA Cup third-round tie

Not this Sunday...

Manchester City will be without Mario Balotelli and the Touré brothers for their FA Cup tie against Manchester United on Sunday. Balotelli continues to be troubled by the ankle injury that prevented him from playing against both Sunderland and Liverpool, and will not be ready to face United. Yaya and Kolo Touré, meanwhile, will be reporting for duty at the Africa Cup of Nations with the Ivory Coast after their coach François Zahoui rejected a request from City to delay their departure.
