Chelsea defender Ivanovic faces long-term right-back option

Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic is facing a long-term future at right-back.

The Daily Mail says Blues boss Carlo Ancelotti sees David Luiz and John Terry as his ideal centre-back pairing and wants Ivanovic to utilise his physical presence at right-back.

That will not please the Serbian as he wanted to establish himself in his favourite centre back position but after Chelsea splashed out £25m for Luiz he is left with little option.

Ivanovic signed new terms with Chelsea earlier this month.
