Manchester City might experiece more centre-backs problems, but German midfielder, Ilkay Gundogan does not mind playing in that position if the need arises.
Defenders like Aymeric Laporte, John Stones, and Nicolas Otamendi have all picked up injuries this season and the situation might get worse in weeks to come.
Rodri and Fernandinho have played in that position already but Fernandinho got injured recently and Rodri was red-carded during a 3-0 victory over Aston Villa on Saturday.
Reacting to the defense situation, Gundogan has said he would be glad to help the club at the back.
His words, “Fortunately, we still have Nicolas Otamendi, who was not able to come on because we had already changed three players.
“If I’m needed, I’m ready to help the team wherever. If I’m needed to play at centre-back for many games, I will try my best to help the team but I don’t think it’s that far yet.
“We’re unlucky at the moment and the red card doesn’t help but we’ll still have a great team on the pitch.”
“We always feel when we’re able to score the first goal or an early goal, we feel like we are unstoppable.
“At half-time, the manager wanted us all to step forward. We created some chances in the first half but it was obvious there was something missing.
“He mentioned that in the dressing room and it helped a lot that we scored within a minute and then went on to get the second as well.
“It was a bit about patience – we could have done better in the first half but the second half was really good.”
