Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has challenged his players to demonstrate their ability to perform without Yaya Toure as they aim to maintain pace with Premier League leaders Chelsea.
City, currently in second place, are tied in points with Chelsea ahead of their upcoming match against Everton on Saturday. However, they will be without Toure, who will be participating in the African Cup of Nations with Ivory Coast for several weeks.
Toure's absence deprives City of their most influential midfielder during a critical period in the title race.
