Kolo Toure

Rodgers said he was still some way off proper match fitness and it would take him a while longer.

The Echo are reporting that Toure still has an outside chance of making the game on Sunday!

Liverpool FC have received some positive news regarding Kolo Toure’s groin injury.

There were fears that the 32-year-old centre-back would be sidelined for up to six weeks after he was stretchered off in Tuesday night’s Capital One Cup tie against Notts County and left Anfield on crutches.

However, the damage isn't that severe and Toure has responded well to treatment at Melwood.

The defender has yet to concede defeat in his battle to be fit for Sunday’s visit of Manchester United and will be reassessed today.

Must be a very outside chance and a huge risk.

[Pablo]

Still brilliant news, looks like he'll only miss that match now at the very most

****in disgarceful that faking injury giving false hope to other teams...OUTRAGEOUS

[Carras_Shin_Pads]

Fantastic news! Fingers crossed, still might be a tad to much for the old guy though..

[Alex]

Hope he makes it. Id love a King Kolo goal this weekend.

It's bull****. A story leaked to the Echo from the club with the express task of telling selling teams we aren't desparate for a defender when we patently are.

Erm, yeah. Thanks for that..

[spider-neil]

Erm, yeah. Thanks for that..

If Kolo even makes the bench I'll admit I was wrong.

[Pablo]

You could still be massively wrong if he's not risked and doesn't make the bench. Although I suppose you'll convince yourself you were right then.

Just saying I wont get my hopes up.

[BigChief]

Also, never worth giving your bitter opponents any useful information before a game. I agree with Neil, we're 'releasing' this information for various reasons and I'd be surprised if he appeared on the bench.

Pleasantly surprised that is.

[Pablo]

Bloody hell nothing is ever just straightforward with you lot is it?
