Players
Kalou, scored 23 goals in 67 appearances for Ivory Coast - He has proved his class in the Premier League, Champions League and with his national team.
Toure faced racist taunts when the clubs met in the Champions League a year ago and the two sides will cross swords again this season.
Ivory Coast striker Seydou Doumbia has been coaxed out of international retirement by coach Herve Renard and named in the squad for September's Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
This weekend's fixtures
GROUP A
• Real Bamako vs Coton Sport 1:1
• AC Leopards (CGO) vs ASEC Mimosas 4:1
GROUP B
• Sewe San Pedro vs Nkana 3:0
• Al Ahly vs Etoile Sahel 0:0
Sierra Leone have climbed 14 places in the Fifa world rankings for August, lifting them into the top 50 for the fist time in their history.
A second-half hat-trick from Kader Bidimbou and a Cesaire Gandze strike gave Leopards the victory which helps them close the gap on leaders Coton Sport to just two points with one round of group matches remaining.
Frenchman Herve Renard has been appointed coach of Ivory Coast. The 45-year-old had two spells as Zambia coach and led them to the Africa Cup of Nations title in 2012.
Toure, who signed a new four-year deal last season, also wants to see more signings in the coming weeks to help establish City as a "massive" club.
Group A
• 27 July: Coton Sport vs Asec Mimosas 2:1
• 27 July: AC Leopards vs Real Bamako 1:2
Group B
• 27 July: Al Ahly vs Sewe Sports 1:0
• 27 July: Nkana vs Etoile du Sahel 4:3
The Ivory Coast international was voted Chelsea's greatest ever player in a poll of fans in 2012 and has spoken of his close ties to the Blues. His 34 goals for Chelsea in European competition remains a club record, as do his nine strikes in nine cup finals.
