Liverpool could be without midfielder Emre Can for Saturday’s game with Chelsea.

The Germany international has started eight of the Reds’ 12 Premier League matches this season, including the 3-0 win over Southampton last weekend.

He came on as a substitute in their 3-3 Champions League draw with Sevilla in midweek.

However, Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has revealed Can is struggling with an injury which makes him doubtful for the Anfield clash.

Defender Joel Matip, who missed the Southampton and Sevilla games, trained on Thursday and midfielder Adam Lallana – who has not featured yet this season – is edging closer to fitness.
