Kolo Toure: "Luis Suarez will strengthen the team"

Liverpool defender Kolo Toure admits that the return of Luis Suarez will boost his side but believes that they have to be bigger than one player.

Liverpool defender Kolo Toure has admitted that the return of Luis Suarez will be a boost but believes that the team have to be bigger than one individual.

The Reds lost for the first time this season in the Premier League as they fell to a 1-0 defeat to Southampton at Anfield on Sunday.

Suarez will return to action against Manchester United in the Capital One Cup in midweek for the first since being handed a 10-match ban for biting Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic last season.

"Suarez is a fantastic player," Toure told The Mirror. "He's a top striker, who can score a goal at any time.

"But we've had Daniel Sturridge playing so well for us. Suarez will strengthen the team.

"The two of them will be a very, strong partnership, mobile and very strong. But it's important to have a strong group, not just individuals."

Liverpool are fifth in the Premier League after five games this season.
