Liverpool fans reacts as Emre Can is left out of Juventus' Champions League squad

Emre Can has been left out of Juventus' 21-man squad for the first phase of the Champions League - and Liverpool fans have been reacting on social media.

Germany international Can let his contract run down at Liverpool before joining Juventus on a free back in June 2018.

Can put pen to paper on a four-year deal with the Italians and was hopeful of becoming an important part of the Juve starting XI, who have huge Champions League ambitions.

Juventus were very active in this summer's window, bringing in both Aaron Ramsey and Adrien Rabiot on free transfers.

Maurizio Sarri's midfield is now packed as a result and Can, who has fallen down the pecking order, has been left out of the squad for the first phase of the Champions League.

Can may be added at a later stage, should Juventus make it to the last 16.

But for the time being he will play no part in the Italian club's European adventure - and Liverpool supporters are having their say.

"Another player who thought the grass was greener," tweeted one Reds fan, while another added: "Music to my ears," and a third concluded: "So sad anyway destroyed his own career."
