Former Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany does not think his old club need to sign a new defender in January.
The Sky Blues have been left short at centre-back this season after Kompany's summer departure to Anderlecht and Aymeric Laporte's knee injury, which has kept him out since August.
John Stones and Nicolas Otamendi have been left as City's only available senior central defenders, while midfielders Rodrigo and Fernandinho have had to play out of position occasionally.
The Brazilian started at centre-back alongside Stones in City's 3-1 defeat at Liverpool on Sunday.
