Can has been struggling with a back injury and was left out of Germany's provisional World Cup squad

Juventus are confident of completing the signing of Emre Can by the end of the week, according to Sky in Italy.
The 24-year-old midfielder formed a pre-contract agreement with Italy's double-winning side during the January transfer window.
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has been trying to get Can to stay and extend his deal at Anfield, which expires next month, but it now appears certain the German will leave the Premier League club.
Can came on as a late substitute in Saturday's Champions League final defeat to Real Madrid but had previously not featured since March because of a back injury and was left out of Germany's preliminary World Cup squad.
He was an instrumental part of Liverpool's success this season before the injury, making 37 appearances in all competitions and scoring seven goals.
Liverpool signed Can from Bayer Leverkusen in a £10m deal in 2014, and he has since made 166 appearances and scored 14 goals.

Granit Xhaka's place in Switzerland's World Cup squad is in doubt after the Arsenal midfielder picked up an injury in training. The Swiss FA confirmed Xhaka had to stop training on Thursday after injuring his knee in a duel. He was not sent to hospital and was instead treated and examined by the physio at the team hotel. A statement on the Swiss FA website said Xhaka reported feeling pain on the outside of his left knee and will be sent for an MRI scan before any further update on the injury is given but they have told Sky Sports: "It is too early to say if he will miss the tournament in Russia". Xhaka is part of coach Vladimir Petkovic's 26-man preliminary squad which also includes Stoke midfielder Xherdan Shaqiri and Arsenal target Stephan Lichtsteiner. Switzerland play Spain in a warm-up match on June 3. They begin the World Cup against Brazil on June 17, before facing Serbia and Costa Rica in group E. via Sky Sports
