Former Liverpool midfielder Emre Can has issued advice to Reds number one target and Borussia Dortmund teammate Jude Bellingham after a heated clash.
The pair appeared to have an on-field discussion during their 4-2 defeat against Bayern Munich in their top-of-the-table Bundesliga clash. Thomas Muller scored twice with Kingsley Coman getting on the scoresheet after an uncharacteristic calamitous error from Gregor Kobel handed the Bavarians the lead after 13 minutes.
Dortmund's 19-year-old starlet is courting interest from around the top clubs in Europe, especially from Jurgen Klopp's side, which has plunged his future into uncertainty. Despite the speculation, he continues to put in a number of match-winning performances as Edin Terzic's side look to dethrone Bayern.

During their defeat on Saturday evening, the former Liverpool midfielder appeared to take umbrage with some of the actions of the England international.
When asked about a moment he was upset with Bellingham, he said: "Jude is still young and he has to learn a lot. Here on the pitch in front of 70,000 to 80,000, there are few things that you can do, you have to be there and have a good body language when a teammate makes a mistake or doesn't see you. That's what we have to learn as a team as well.
"It was like we had a plan then we were 2-0 down and then we didn't stick to our plan, we were pressing with one man and that is not good enough but still, the season is not over. There's a lot of points to play for, we will see what happens at the end of the season."
Dortmund fell slightly off the pace with their defeat as Thomas Tuchel took his new side two points clear in his first game in charge after replacing Julian Nagelsmann.
