The 20-year-old made the switch to Anfield from Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen earlier this month.
Can and fellow transfer-window recruit were both named in Liverpool's starting XI for the 2-1 victory at Deepdale on Saturday.
However, Can lasted just 20 minutes before he was replaced by Jordon Ibe due to calf complaint.
"Young Emre was excellent; he showed some lovely touches on the ball," Rodgers told Liverpool's official website.
"He's got power and pace. He just had a little bit of tightness in his calf, so as a precaution we took him off early on."
