Pep Guardiola says he will have to play at least one player out of position to solve his defensive problems in tomorrow night's Champions League semi-final clash with Real Madrid. The Manchester City boss will give John Stones and Kyle Walker until tomorrow morning to prove their fitness, with the suspension of Joao Cancelo meaning they could be left without any senior players who have played right back.
Walker is almost certainly not fit, having not trained since twisting his ankle in the quarter-final draw at Atletico Madrid which saw them into the last four, but Stones may be asked to take a risk on his own injury problem, despite missing the last game against Watford.
Cancelo will be available for the second leg but misses the home game after picking up a yellow card at the Wanda Metropolitano. That means Stones is next in line to step into that role, but if the England man is not ready, Guardiola has a big decision to take - he threw Gabriel Jesus' name into the ring on Saturday, although that may have been a joke, and he could also switch one of his left-sided defenders, Oleks Zinchenko or Nathan Ake, to the right-hand side.
