Manchester City duo Yaya and Kolo Toure have been named in the Ivory Coast squad for the Africa Cup of Nations.

The brothers are among six Premier League players selected by manager Sabri Lamouchi for the tournament, which runs from January 19 to February 10.

Their Citizens teammate Adbul Razak will also travel to South Africa despite rarely featuring for the English champions at senior level.

Newcastle United midfielder Chieck Tiote and forward pair Gervinho and Arouna Kone, of Arsenal and Wigan Athletic respectively, complete the Premier League representation.

Former Chelsea forward Didier Drogba is also included in the squad and will captain the tournament favourites.
