Story highlights Toure apologizes for agent's commentsHasn't played for City since August 24Seluk claimed Guardiola "humiliated" Toure(CNN) Left out in the cold by Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, four-time African footballer of the year Yaya Toure has apologized for comments made by his agent in an attempt to build bridges with the English Premier League leader. Despite earning a reported $300,000 a week , Toure has yet to play in the Premier League this season and was also excluded from City's Champions League squad for the group stages. City manager Pep Guardiola said he wouldn't play the Ivory Coast international until his agent, Dmitri Seluk, apologized for his comments. In an interview with the Daily Mirror in September, Seluk said City's manager had "humiliated" Toure after the midfielder was dropped from the team for a Champions League qualifying match. "I wish to apologize -- on behalf of myself and those who represent me -- to the management team and all those working at the club for the misunderstandings from the past," the 33-year-old said Friday.
