John Stones makes honest admission over his new Man City position

John Stones admitted he is still learning how the play at right-back for Manchester City, although he is relishing the unexpected opportunity to try a new position.

Stones has been called upon to cover for the injured Kyle Walker at times in the last couple of months, although he too has been injured for some of the time, and he made his comeback as the right full-back in City's Champions League draw at Borussia Dortmund.

The England centre-back had started the reverse fixture in the same position, scoring a brilliant equaliser, and was picked again at the Westfalenstadion. While he may not have expected to be learning a new position this season, Stones says he is enjoying the challenge and the tactical responsibilities that come as a full-back in Pep Guardiola's system.
