Chelsea defender David Luiz would happily step into midfield.

The Blues are pondering how to fill the void left by Oriol Romeu's season-ending injury, with moving Luiz out of defence one option available to interim manager Rafael Benitez.

He said: "If the manager wants me as a striker, a right-back, a winger... I'll do anything to help the team. This is my philosophy.

"I play for the team and, if I'm needed to play in other positions, I'll try my best.

"I've played football for a long time. I know other positions. I know what wingers need to do because I see them doing it all the time in games and training, so if someone asks me what I need to do as a winger I'd know.

"I was in a different position against Nordsjaelland on Wednesday, the manager pushing me upfield a bit.

"He said I was one of the top five in terms of my fitness in the team, so I can help the other guys to control games like that.

"We were winning 5-1 so I could be box to box, helping out the team. I just want to help Chelsea."
