Liverpool defender Kolo Toure believes that Luis Suarez’s inclusion in the club's squad will make the Reds a stronger team prior to his side’s vital League Cup clash against Manchester United on Wednesday.
The Uruguayan international has completed his 10-match ban for biting Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic last term and is slated to return for the clash against the Red Devils.
And Toure has heaped praise on the striker, who he feels will strike a formidable partnership with the in-form Daniel Sturridge.
He told his club’s official site: "Luis is a fantastic player – a top striker who can score a goal at any time. He will strengthen the team.

"Daniel Sturridge has been playing so well for us and the two of them will be a very strong partnership. I'm sure Suarez will be ready to be thrown back in.”
Despite not playing a competitive match for a while, Suarez bagged a brace in his country’s World Cup qualification match against Peru on 6th September and Toure feels that it shows strength of the former Ajax player.
"You saw from his international appearance the other week, in the first game he had played for a while he scored twice. That just shows how strong this guy is”, he added.
"He has been very difficult to defend against in training. He is a winner. He's always working hard and fighting. You want those kind of players."
Suarez has scored 51 goals in 96 appearances for Liverpool in all competitions.
