Germany injury worry over Liverpool midfielder Can

The 23-year-old is a doubt to face Cameroon at the Confederations Cup after he suffered a problem in the final training session before the game
Liverpool midfielder Emre Can has suffered an injury scare while on duty with Germany at the Confederations Cup
Can is a doubt for the world champions' closing Group B match against Cameroon after withdrawing from Saturday's training session in Sochi.
Germany boss Joachim Low did not specify the precise nature of the injury, but described it as a "minor" problem sustained when the 23-year-old's "boot got stuck in the grass".
"During training, Emre Can has sustained a minor injury," Low told a pre-match new conference at Fisht Stadium.
"He bent over on the pitch. His boot got stuck in the grass. We will have to see how he feels because he had to break off training."
Low boasts a plethora of midfield options in an experimental squad and his side sit level on points with group leaders Chile following the sides' 1-1 draw in Kazan on Thursday.

He will rotate his line-up once more having already altered formations and personnel from the opening 3-2 win over Australia.
"Three or four changes are possible against Cameroon; seven or eight would be a bit exaggerated," Low explained ahead of his 150th match in charge of Die Mannschaft.
