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.
