Liverpool's Emre Can Back in Action ahead of Europa Clash

Sports

By Reuters | May 04, 2016

Liverpool midfielder Emre Can has returned to training ahead of the second leg of the side's Europa League semi-final against Villarreal on Thursday, as he nears a full recovery from an ankle injury.

The German injured his ankle ligaments in Liverpool's 4-3 Europa League quarter-final win over German side Borussia Dortmund last month, sparking fears that he could miss the rest of the season.

The 22-year-old is an influential member of Liverpool's squad and his return is a boost for manager Juergen Klopp, who is looking to overturn a 1-0 deficit when Villarreal visit Anfield for the second leg.

Trophy anticipations

Winning the Europa League is Liverpool's only remaining hope of both silverware and qualification for next season's Champions League.
