Ivorian professional footballer Gnégnéri Yaya Touré, known as Yaya Touré, who plays as a midfielder for English club Manchester City and the Ivory Coast national team has donated a signed match shirt to a five-year-old girl who was hit in the head by one of the Ivorian's wayward shots at Loftus Road on Saturday.
Chloe Power, sat watching Queens Park Rangers' 2-2 draw with Manchester City with her dad on Saturday evening, was left dazed but with no serious injuries, as the first-half shot flew past the post.
Despite sitting six rows back, the emphatic shot flew so fast towards the face of the infant that she was unable to get out of the way.
Onlookers gasped as Chloe's head was violently sent backwards after the impact.
Toure tweeted afterwards that he had had a phone call with Chloe's father and the youngster, before donating his shirt, which he and other City stars signed.
QPR also gave away a match-worn jersey, which was signed by all members of the Hoops' team.
Toure insisted that he was 'very worried' about Chloe and was delighted that she was OK.
Relieved to hear the girl my shot hit is ok. I was very worried. Also want to thank the City fans who traveled to support us today.
