Germany boss Joachim Loew has eased concerns about Emre Can’s back injury.

The Liverpool midfielder limped out of training on Wednesday and will play no part in Friday night’s friendly with Spain.

Howver, Can isn’t returning to Melwood for treatment as Loew believes he could be fit to play a part in their second match against Brazil in Berlin on Tuesday.

“Emre Can will not be in the squad tomorrow because of the back problem he brought with him from Liverpool,” Loew said.

“He tried to train yesterday but broke it off because it was pinching a bit. Maybe Saturday he can return to training and hopefully play a role against Brazil.”

Can, who is out of contract this summer, was forced off just 27 minutes into Liverpool’s 5-0 thrashing of Watford last weekend.

He’s desperate to feature for his country as he looks to bolster his chances of securing a place in Loew’s starting line up ahead of this summer’s World Cup in Russia.
