And part of Toure’s education has seen the former Premier League star travel up to St George’s Park to work within Lee Carsley’s coaching team.

His presence at the national football centre has provided those players within Carsley’s squad of invaluable top level experience.

Toure won three Premier League titles with City plus two La Liga’s and a Champions League with Barcelona. 

England Under-21s booked their place at Euro 2023 last month, winning eight of their 10 qualifying matches, and can now look to use the Italy and Germany games as preparation for next year’s tournament in Romania and Georgia.
