Liverpool's James Milner is ready to step up as a full-back for the club this season, although he said he preferred playing elsewhere.
Jurgen Klopp has been unable to sign a full-back in the off-season, and allowed Brad Smith to leave for Bournemouth.
The German may opt against signing cover for Alberto Moreno, with the versatile Milner open to playing there if needed.
However, Milner said his preference was midfield, and the 30-year-old enjoyed a decent Premier League campaign last season with five goals and 11 assists.

"He's obviously looked at his squad and what players he has," the England international said.
"He's asked if I was willing to cover the full-back positions, basically, if there was a point in the season where there were injuries or like at Man United last season in the Europa League when I played left-back.
"We had a conversation about it and I told him it's not my favourite position and not one I particularly like playing, but he's the manager and if he wants me to play there, I'll play there. The team comes first, always has, always will."
