Yaya Toure is one of five meaningful players ruled out of Manchester City's encounter with Bournemouth on Saturday, as the Ivorian struggles to overcome a heel injury, manager Manuel Pellegrini confirmed.

Raheem Sterling, Fabian Delph (Achilles), Joe Hart (calf strain), and Vincent Kompany were also ruled out of the fixture due to injury.

Pellegrini added that Toure and Hart are also in danger of missing City's first leg of its Champions League quarter-final match against Paris Saint-Germain on April 6.

"I'm not 100 percent sure but I think it will be difficult for Joe or Yaya to play against PSG," he told reporters.

Meanwhile, Sterling is expected to miss four-to-five weeks with a groin strain, and Kompany is out with a calf strain
