Joe Hart’s not the only one to feel the wrath of Pep Guardiola this season, with Yaya Toure also dropped from the Manchester City squad.
The Ivorian looked a possible candidate for the axe under City’s new manager after also falling out with him in their time together at Barcelona.
Toure was not at his best for City last season, and may now be on his way out after a major statement from Guardiola on the opening day of the season.
City host Sunderland at the Etihad Stadium for the Spaniard’s first game in charge, but he’s gone with a central midfield pairing of Fernandinho and David Silva.
Willy Caballero starts in goal ahead of Hart, amid rumours that the England goalkeeper could be a loan target for Everton.
Once such key players for City, Toure and Hart are now facing growing doubts over their futures with the club.

The domestic violence case between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp is getting messier by the minute, and now they're dragging other people in the midst of their conflict. Depp apparently accused his wife of cheating on him with Billy Bob Thornton back in 2015, but the actor has completely denied all allegations. 'Our Brand Is Crisis' star Billy Bob Thornton has branded the suggestion that he slept with Amber Heard during the production of their latest movie 'London Fields' as 'completely false' according to reports from TMZ .
