The Ivorian international, 33, was pulled over by police in a car in Dagenham, east London
Star Manchester City footballer Yaya Toure has been charged with drink-driving, police have confirmed tonight.

The Ivorian international, 33, was pulled over by police in a car in Dagenham, east London, at around 11pm on Monday, November 28.


The former Barcelona player was breathalysed at the roadside then again after his arrest at a police station.


Toure, who has only just been recalled to the Manchester City squad after manager Pep Guardiola was angered by comments made by his agent, was subsequently charged the following day with an offence of driving whilst over the legal limit, the Metropolitan Police confirmed.

A force spokesman confirmed that he’s due to appear on bail at Barkingside Magistrates Court on December 13.

Just days before his arrest, Toure scored twice in his first game for the club since he fell out of favour in the summer.

In a statement, the Met said: “Yaya Toure, 33, of Macclesfield, Cheshire, was charged on Tuesday November 29 with a driving offence, namely driving a motor vehicle when alcohol level above the legal limit.

“He will appear on bail at Barkingside Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday, December 13. The charge follows a stop of a car in Dagenham at around 11pm on Monday, November 28.”

Manchester City have declined to comment, saying the matter is a personal issue for Toure.

I swear, I thought I Saw yaya refuse an alcohol in appreciation for a man of the match performance in carping cup. Yaya claimed that his a Muslim, therefore, alcohol is strictly forbidden to him

[Benedict Iroha]

Pep drove him to drinking

[okidoki]

Wow, thought he was a practicing muslim.

[highbury]

Pep drove him to drinking

Maybe. But to be honest, I have realized that alot of the Muslims I have met are hypocrites.

[Rawlings]

Wow, thought he was a practicing muslim.

Northern Nigeria is full of practicing Muslims , but OGOGLO is the #1 thirst quencher

[tfco]

he bottled it

[Coach]

Silly from Toure, if City throw the book at him, his agent will have nothing to wine about.

[pajimoh]

This is staggering news

[kalani JR]

The wickedness of Pep to Africans knows no bounds.

[nemi2002]

Rubbish... He should get on with his life

[Coach]

Bright lights of London town are blinding. Its clear Yaya lost his mind in the southern comfort of the Big Smoke. Wouldn't be at all surprised if there was a lass involved, had he been tending to a hoegaarden?

[pajimoh]

Yaya's Famous GROUSE with Pepe might have pushed him to inibriative behavior. The needs a SHOT of reality

[ohenhen1]

A friend of mine is a muslim and he drinks. I asked him about it, didn't get an answer. He also **** everything that smiles at him.

[Bigpokey24]

Mikel was also charged with drink driving. ...so what

[lionga]

he bottled it

Silly from Toure, if City throw the book at him, his agent will have morning to wine about.

The loss to Chelsea was brutal, but there are better ways for Yaya to WASH away his sorrows.

[pajimoh]

Yaya should have let his friend JAMIESON or BAILEYS drive.

[Coach]

In the press conference after the arrest, Toure appeared shaken but not stirred, hopefully, he's learnt his lesson and will be (bud)wiser next time.

Pep drove him to drinking

Maybe. But to be honest, I have realized that alot of the Muslims I have met are hypocrites.

there is a distinction between not abiding by religious rulings and being a hypocrite.

[pajimoh]

As a STAR, Yaya should stay away from beer and other alcohol. The SMIR on his character might not come nOFF

[Coach]

This indiscretion has left a red stripe against his good name. Hopefully this brush with the law wont blight his game, City have a few title deciders coming up.

Spot on.

[anointed]

He was really beer-ish in his thirst game of the season.
