Kolo Toure has warned his team-mates it's all about “attitude” as Joe Allen joined Liverpool FC's lengthy injury list ahead of today's FA Cup clash at Bournemouth.

The Reds will be heavily depleted for the fourth round tie at Goldsands Stadium after the Wales midfielder suffered a knock in training.

Allen, who only returned to action against Aston Villa last weekend following three weeks out with a groin problem, didn't travel to the South Coast.

He joins Daniel Agger, Jose Enrique, Mamadou Sakho, Lucas Leiva and Glen Johnson on the sidelines.

It's unclear whether the £15million man will also miss Tuesday's Merseyside derby against Everton.

Toure is set to line up alongside Martin Skrtel at centre-back today and the experienced Ivorian has urged the Reds to rise to the challenge against the Championship outfit.

“Attitude is so important when you play against lower league opposition,” Toure told the ECHO.

“It doesn't matter who you play, there are no easy games in the FA Cup. As a team you have to make the game easy.

“Even if you play against an under-20 side and you are not focused they can give you some problems.

“I'm confident that this team has the right attitude. Everyone in training is fighting for their place.

“Bournemouth have nothing to lose and it will be a huge occasion for them but that is why we love the FA Cup.

“They will fight for their lives but we will fight for our lives too. We want to win and we must treat it like a Premier League game.”
