Germany skipper Philipp Lahm has admitted that he would like to play in midfield during this summer's World Cup finals in Brazil.
The talented star has played as a full-back for the majority of his career, but had been deployed as a central midfielder by Bayern Munich manager Pep Guardiola last season.
While speaking to The Guardian, Lahm revealed that he expects Joachim Low to ask him to play in a similar role during the World Cup.
"You would have to ask the manager, it's not my job to make these considerations public." He said. "But I played the last test game before the World Cup in midfield, so I'd expect to play there in the competition as well.
"It's possible [to swap positions throughout the tournament] but I have to say that it's not easy for a player to keep changing."
