The England international claims that the incident was accidental on his part and that he did not want to hurt the German. The midfielder did not even receive a yellow card from referee Andre Marriner at the time but could still face action from the FA if it is mentioned in the official’s report.
Can started out of position in central defence in the match, during which the Merseyside started to look slightly closer to the form that they were in last season. The win took the Reds in to eighth in the Premier League and only five points off the top four.
Manager Brendan Rodgers will be happy with this as he and his team had been coming under fire for their poor performances which had led to them dropping out of the Champions League and having to do some catching up in the league.
