Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has admitted his side are short of defensive options for the remainder of the season. Sky Sports are reporting that he is considering a move for Bayern Munich’s Holger Badstuber in January.
Guardiola worked with Badstuber during his three years at Bayern Munich. The 27-year-old has played for Bayern throughout his career. He is a versatile defender, capable of playing as a centre-half or a left-back.
However, Badstuber has seen much of his career disrupted by injury. A cruciate ligament rupture kept him out for around a year-and-a-half from the end of 2012, and he has suffered multiple setbacks since.
