After the declarations made by Yaya Touré and his agent, Dimitri Seluk recently, a small concern was raised yesterday after the midfielder was not listed in the starting line-up again nor was he used as a substitute.

There is a very good chance Pep Guardiola might want to reserve him for the match against Kiev this Wednesday.

According to Catalan sports paper El Mundo Deportivo, to avert any more unfounded suggestions by Yaya’s agent, Barcelona’s Technical Secretary, Txiki Begiristain, yesterday released a statement that voiced his dissatisfaction with his actions.

“The most important thing (we need to think of here) is Touré himself. I am satisfied with his performance, and of the dialogue between the coach and the player. They are the ones who should decide on this matter. It is kind of surprising listening to the agent’s interviews, he should have understood everything.”
