Prior to today, Can had made 28 appearances for the Merseyside club this season, with this one set to be his 29th.

Emre Can captain, I don’t get it? We did the same thing with Coutinho and made him captain, then he jumped ship to Barca. To me it shows desperation to keep a player #LFC

No way should a man who won't sign a new contract be captain, it's not right #Can #LFC
