LIVERPOOL will be sweating on the fitness of Emre Can after he was forced off injured against Watford.
The midfielder left the pitch midway through the first half and was seen clutching his back as he walked down the tunnel.
Can has been instrumental for Liverpool this season, making 33 appearances in all competitions.
And if injured, Klopp will most likely turn to veteran James Milner, who came on as Can's replacement against the Hornets.
Can is out of contract this summer and is a transfer target for Juventus.
Reports from Italy claim the Serie A giants have already secured his signature in a lucrative deal.
Klopp is desperate to keep Can on Merseyside as he looks to compete for the Premier League title next season.
But there's a chance the ace may have played his last game for the Reds should he be diagnosed with a bad setback.

And should a move to Juventus be on the cards, Can may not be willing to take a risk and play through any pain.
