Yaya Toure has suggested he may be about to step away from international football , after claiming 'my target is done ' . Toure captained his country to this winter 's Africa Cup of Nations , their first major trophy in over two decades , and could now follow his brother Kolo in retiring from Ivory coast duty . Toure said he would take a couple of days to decide , but suggested that the Elephants ' new generation should be allowed to flourish . Yaya Toure has hinted that he might step down from international duty with the Ivory Coast . Toure was in action during the draw with Equatorial Guinea in Abidjan , Ivory Coast , on Sunday . 'My future ? ' he asked , when questioned by the BBC . 'You have to wait . Now , my target is done . We have to wait for a couple of days and see what we can do . 'My brother has retired , and Copa ( Barry , the long-standing Ivorian goalkeeper ) as well . The time of the youngsters will come soon . We need to let them . 'It 's always beautiful when everything is going in the right way . I 'm delighted with the trophy of 2015 . Now we just want to focus , I will wait a couple of days before we decide my future . ' The comments will be good news for Manchseter City , who struggled in Toure 's absence during the Cup of Nations in Equatorial Guinea . Toure said 'my target is done ' after leading his country to the Africa Cup of Nations last month . The news would be good for Manchester City , who have struggled in Toure 's absence . City won just once , drawing twice and losing twice , during their midfielder 's time away , exiting the FA Cup and losing ground on Chelsea in the Premier League title race in the process . But with the next World Cup more than three years away , Toure , 31 , does n't see the tournament as a realistic prospect , so is considering his future with the national team . ' I 've done what I have to do and for me that 's it , ' he added . 'To see an African team win a World Cup we have to wait a couple of years again . '
Yaya Toure says 'my target is done ' after winning Africa Cup of Nations . Toure wants to allow younger generation to come through . ' I 've done what I have to do and for me that 's it , ' says the 31-year-old .
