Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers expects Emre Can to build on his recent performances.
He was an impressive performer at Real Madrid last Tuesday, enough to retain a starting position for the Barclays Premier League defeat by Chelsea on Saturday, in which he blasted the opening goal on nine minutes.
"He's a big, strong boy who is just coming back to fitness really," Rodgers told Liverpoolfc.com of his performance. "He did very well, showing good power and energy in the game.
"He can shoot from distance and got a good goal. He's a young player that is developing very well and I'm sure over the next couple of years he'll prove to be a very good player.
"He's still a very young player at 20 years of age. So games like the one in the week and this will be good for his experience."
