Despite joining as a central midfielder Can has played much of the season as a defender in Rodgers back-three.
The 21-year-old has adapted well to becoming a defender, in fact Liverpool have not lost any of their last 10 Premier League games in which Can has started at the back.
Can has one goal and one assist in 29 appearances in all competitions this season for Liverpool.
