Yaya Toure: Plays Full 90 Minutes

Toure played the full 90 minutes in Ivory Coast's 2-1 victory over Japan on Saturday. His status for the match was in doubt due to a hamstring issue, but it did not keep him from missing any time. Toure finished the match with two shots, but neither were on target.

Analysis:

The hamstring injury suffered at the end of the Premier League season does not look like it will force Toure to miss any World Cup action. He should be ready to play the full 90 minutes again when Ivory Coast take on Colombia on Thursday in a crucial Group C match.
