Out-of-favour Toure's only previous appearance since Pep Guardiola's appointment as City manager came in aChampions League qualifier against Steaua Bucharest in August.
Toure's return to the team comes shortly after he apologised to Guardiola for "misunderstandings of the past".
His agent Dimitri Seluk had been critical of Guardiola, accusing him of "humiliating" Toure by omitting him from City's Champions League group stage squad.
Toure was also sold by Barcelona to City when Guardiola was manager of the Spanish club.
