Liverpool’s Emre Can has reportedly been ruled out for the rest of the season with a back injury.
According to a report from the Daily Mail, Emre Can has been ruled out for the rest of the season with a back injury, in what will be bitterly disappointing news for Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool fans.
The German has proven to be a key player for the Reds this season, but it is looking ever more likely that he will leave Anfield in the summer, with his contract close to expiring.
Can missed Liverpool’s superb Champions League win over Manchester City on Wednesday night, and Klopp originally thought that he would have the 24-year-old back available for him for his side’s clash with the Citizens at the Etihad next week.
The Daily Mail’s report claiming that the Germany international will miss the rest of the season with a back injury will be a huge blow to the Merseysiders, especially considering the fact that Jordan Henderson is banned and unavailable for selection for their second leg Champions League clash with City.
The report also claims that Can is a major doubt for the World Cup with Germany.
The Reds face a vitally important week ahead of them, with games against Everton in the Premier League tomorrow and Man City in the Champions League three days later.
Having Can unavailable for selection will be a huge blow for Klopp, and the German could very well have played his last game for Liverpool.
