Liverpool boss Rodgers pleased with Emre Can short debut

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers is pleased with what he's seen so far from Emre Can.

For victory over Preston, Can was withdrawn on the 20-minute mark due to a minor calf issue, but Rodgers had already been impressed with what he witnessed from the new recruit.

"Young Emre was excellent; he showed some lovely touches on the ball," the Northern Irishman told Liverpoolfc.com.

"He's got power and pace. He just had a little bit of tightness in his calf, so as a precaution we took him off early on."
