Yaya, who won the Confederation of African Football's Footballer of the Year award for a fourth straight year just before the Africa Cup of Nations started, has not looked happy in Equatorial Guinea. He mumbled his way through a press conference before Cote d'Ivoire's first game, a disappointing 1-1 draw with Guinea, and has not faced the press since, despite being captain.
He brushed past reporters after the Cameroon match saying only "there's no problem, there's no problem", before boarding the team bus. He had needed treatment after a firm challenge by Stephane Mbia but will be fit to face Algeria in the quarter-finals on Sunday.
He is clearly not enjoying his role as a deep-lying midfielder, while his former boss at Manchester City, Roberto Mancini, is publicly discussing taking him to Inter.
