Liverpool defender Kolo Toure has been named in the Ivory Coast squad for the Africa Cup of Nations tournament in Equatorial Guinea next month.

The 33-year-old is part of a 23-man group selected by coach Herve Renard for the continental competition, which will take place from January 17 to February 8.

Toure and his compatriots have been drawn alongside Cameroon, Guinea and Mali in Group D, with the top two in each section progressing to the knockout stages.

Ivory Coast kick off their campaign against Guinea on January 20, tackle Mali four days later and complete the group by facing Cameroon on January 28.

Toure has made 12 appearances in total for the Reds this season and was named the club's Standard Chartered Player of the Month in November.
