Liverpool midfielder Emre Can is losing his fight to feature in the Champions League final.

Can underwent a scan on his back injury on Monday, but the results were inconclusive and he will have further tests in the hope of a return to training next week.

The 24-year-old is still in Germany undergoing treatment and had hoped to receive the green light to start his comeback to force his way into Jurgen Klopp’s squad for the final against Real Madrid on May 26.

That was not possible. He will not return to Merseyside until next Monday at the earliest. Even if he could resume training then, that would give him only two weeks to prove his match fitness before Liverpool meet Zinedine Zidane's side.

Speaking last Friday, manager Jurgen Klopp had suggested the most recent scan would be decisive.
