Toure's brother passes on

Besides Ivory coast losing to Colombia recently, top quality players -  Kolo and Yaya Toure, further bemoan  the loss of their younger brother- Ibrahim Toure. Ibrahim passed on at the age of 28 on Thursday in Manchester.

Football seems to be a household lingua across the brothers, as the late Ibrahim Toure was a prolific striker at a Lebanese team-  Al-Safa SC. Sources indicate that Ibrahim perished after a short battle with cancer.

Though Yaya and Kolo have learnt of the news while in Brazil for the World Cup tournament, Ivorian players and soccer fans across the world, have shown their support to the players.

The brothers haven’t commented on the matter as per yet, though fans across the world continue to remember them in prayers.

Ivory Coast won her first match 2-1 against Japan and will play her remaining Group C game against Greece on Tuesday.
