Liverpool midfielder Emre Can has pledged to be fully fit for Euro 2016.

The Germany international has been ruled out for four weeks after he ruptured ligaments in his right ankle during Liverpool's dramatic Europa League win over Borussia Dortmund last Thursday.

Liverpool's medical staff are hopeful the 22-year-old will recover in time for the Europa League final on May 18, should the club get past Villarreal in the last four.

Can himself is confident his injury will not affect his European Championship chances.
