The absence of Yaya Toure on Tuesday night should not pose too much of a problem for Manchester City according to Manuel Pellegrini.
The powerful Ivory Coast international remains suspended for tomorrow night's Champions League Round of 16 first leg against Barcelona but manager Pellegrini suggests his squad is capable of covering the gaping hole in central midfield.
"I prefer to play with Yaya and I think we play better with him," said the Chilean.
"But we can play without Yaya - also we played without him against Roma and Bayern (in the group stage) and won both - and I think we have a good squad to replace him."
