Emre Can could feature for Liverpool against Manchester United in the Premier League on Monday.
Former Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea midfielder Glenn Hoddle has written in The Daily Mail that Liverpool have missed Emre Can this season.
Can, who can play as a midfielder or as a defender, has been able to make just three appearances in the Premier League so far this season due to an ankle injury.
The 22-year-old Germany international is now fully fit and could start for Liverpool against Manchester United on Monday evening.
Liverpool will take on fierce rivals United at Anfield in the Premier League and will fancy their chances of picking up all three points from the encounter.
Former Tottenham and Chelsea midfielder Hoddle believes that Liverpool have missed Can. The ex-England has also pointed out the Reds’ Achilles heel.
“There have been magical spells this season against Arsenal and Leicester, where they have shown great ability,” Hoddle wrote about Liverpool in The Daily Mail. “But there have also been a 2-0 defeat at Burnley and a poor first half in the 2-1 win at Swansea.
“Their achilles heel is that after producing 20 minutes of pure football with their intense pressing high up the pitch, the foot can suddenly come off the pedal and they look very vulnerable.
“I do feel they have missed Emre Can sitting in midfield and his return against Manchester United on Monday may help.”
Liverpool are in good form at the moment, and playing at Anfield will also give them an advantage.
It is hard to see the Reds dropping all three points on Monday evening, but United do have enough quality to earn a draw.
Klopp’s side are fourth in the Premier League table at the moment, while United are currently seventh in the standings.
