Toure was carried off on a stretcher

Ivory Coast defender Kolo Toure will undergo medical tests to assess the extent of his groin injury, manager Gerard Gili said.

Toure was stretchered off the pitch on Friday during his side's 4-1 victory over Benin.

The Arsenal star was quoted as saying that he would be ready for the last group game against Mali but Gili wasn't as much optimistic.

"I'm concerned about him because he has injured his groin," The Frenchman was quoted as saying by Sky Sports.

"I don't know how long he'll be out. He first has to take some tests."

Ivory Coast have already qualified to the quarter-finals after collecting maximum points from there first two games.
