Jurgen Klopp has hinted that Kolo Toure could stay at Liverpool
The 35-year-old has played 19 times under Klopp since the German arrived at Anfield in December.
But the former Arsenal and Manchester City centre-back is out of contract at the end of the season and is yet to discuss a new deal.
However Klopp insisted the Ivory Coast defender is still part of his plans at Anfield.
"Kolo is a very, very important player for us, even when he doesn't play," Klopp said.

"He's one of the most impressive people I have met, but now is not the right time to speak about Kolo's future.
"When I came here Kolo had a few problems injury wise but now it looks completely different and that's good.
"How I have heard things is that a big part of Kolo's future is at Liverpool. So I'd say everything is ok."
