Yaya and Kolo Toure have announced that they will continue to take part in the World Cup, despite the death of their brother Ibrahim.

Younger brother Ibrahim tragically passed away on Thursday his, losing battle with cancer at the age of 28.

"The Toure brothers have decided to stay with the team. They are not leaving Brazil," a representative said.
