Liverpool star Emre Can has moved up the pecking order in the Red’s midfield following an unfortunate injury to Joe Allen.

The Wales international has been ruled out for a month after suffering damage to his hamstring according to the BBC.

Liverpool boss Brenden Rodgers is expected to play a three man midfield with Jordan Henderson assured a place having being given the club captaincy.

Can is expected to move into midfield this season following the signing of Nathaniel Clyne from Southampton earlier this Summer.

Can made a total of 27 appearances for Liverpool last season and also featured in the FA Cup and Europa League.
