Asked about a midfield role for the defender, Amorim said: "I can't say. I think a smart, intelligent football player can play in a lot of positions, but it is not the right position for him.
"He needs more time to work there as he is not working there (currently). But in one emergency he can play (there). I am not thinking about that. With Licha (Lisandro Martinez), he is becoming close to be ready to play.
"Of course, we need to be careful as he is going to struggle in the first (few) minutes. He is clearly in a better position compared to two weeks ago."
