England boss Steve McClaren says he wouldn't hesitate to play Manchester City defender Micah Richards at centre-half.
Despite his relative inexperience, McClaren will not rule the 19-year-old out of the position on age grounds.
"I would have no hesitation in playing Micah Richards in central defence," said McClaren.
"We played him there for one half against Germany and he did well and his performances there for Manchester City have been impressive."
