Manchester City defender Kolo Toure could make his return from a six-month drug ban playing for Ivory Coast in a 2012 Africa Cup of Nations Cup qualifier on September 3.



He has been included in the Elephants' squad for their Group H game away to Rwanda.



The match takes place just 24 hours after the ban imposed on Toure expires.



Toure has been sidelined for six months following a failed drugs test resulting from a diet pill his wife gave him.
