Liverpool could miss Kolo Toure in Manchester United clash

Kolo Toure has been in top form for Liverpool so far this season

Despite a 4-2 victory over Notts County in the Capital One Cup on Tuesday night, Liverpool are counting the cost after losing Kolo Toure to injury. The Ivory Coast international was unable to complete the game after picking up a groin strain and as such is a doubt for the Reds’’weekend clash against age-old rivals Manchester United.

Toure’s signing on a free transfer has looked like a piece of inspired business by Brendan Rodgers in the early clashes this season, as the African looks to be getting back to some semblance of the form that he displayed in his Arsenal days.

Liverpool will miss his presence at the weekend if he is unavailable, and will hope that his time on the sidelines will not be too long.
