"Barcelona defender Jules Kounde has reportedly asked Hansi Flick if he can play at center-back after seeing Ronald Araujo ruled out for the time being. Araujo has been granted a temporary leave of absence in the wake of his red card against Chelsea, and it's not clear yet when he will return to action. According to Cope's Helena Condis, the situation has seen Kounde ask about the possibility of him switching from right back to a central role."
"Condis has said: "He has spoken with Flick, he wants to play as a center-back. This conversation took place after the Araújo incident." Kounde has been converted to a full-back during his time at Barcelona, but it looks like he's still keen on playing in his preferred position in the middle."
