“For many years, we play with different ways up front and it depends on the qualities of the players we’re going to find another solution.
“We will find a solution for the players that we have with different skills and qualities. We will find that.”
Manuel Akanji, Nathan Ake and John Stones have been injured and are still a number of weeks away from fitness, while Rodri is still on the recovery trail after rupturing his anterior-cruciate ligament in September.
