Manchester City centre-back Kolo Toure is hoping to return to action as soon as possible following his suspension for a drugs test failure.

The ex-Arsenal man tested positive for a specified substance, which former boss Arsene Wenger claimed was Toure’s wife’s diet pills.

While the Ivory Coast international has since refused to comment on the controversy, he has signalled to Manchester City fans that he hopes to be back in action at Eastlands soon.

Speaking at the Soccerex conference in Manchester, Toure said: “I will be back soon – I hope so. I feel alright.”

The 29-year-old is still awaiting the results of his ‘B’ drugs test sample.
