| Toure Oyala Ibrahim |
The Manchester City and Liverpool stars' brother passed away at the age of 28 on Thursday in Manchester after battling with cancer - just hours after the pair were in the squad for Ivory Coast's 2-1 loss to Colombia.
The Ivorian FA have offered support to Yaya and Kolo, as the Group C side 'ask Ivorians for their prayers' during the difficult period.
It is understood Ibrahim was receiving chemotherapy for his illness at The Christie, and Yaya
regularly visited his sibling.
Manchester City were among those leading the tributes to Ibrahim.
'The thoughts of everyone at Manchester City FC are with Yaya and Kolo Toure following the death of their younger brother Ibrahim,' they said.
'Ibrahim was a regular visitor to Carrington and was a popular figure among the staff and players and was extremely close to his two older brothers.
'The Ivorian Football Federation announced that Ibrahim passed away on Thursday, 19 June in Manchester and the thoughts of everyone connected with City are with the Toure family at this most difficult time.'
City captain Vincent Kompany also expressed his sympathy, tweeting: 'My sincere condolences to the Toure family for the loss of Ibrahim. We are all saddened by this news. Keep strong.'
