We have Sean Goss who was with the squad in the pre-season tour and played a few games. Then we also have Andreas Pereira who can play centrally I believe, and Fosu-Mensah and McNair can both play centrally as well too.

The problem with central midfield is that it's a hard place for a youth player to break through. Often you get chances at the fullback positions or on the wing because the team can afford to take a risk on the flanks and a mistake or two might not be game changing. But centrally, at centre back and especially in centre midfield you need experience and composure and if you make a mistake in those positions it could very well lose you a match, so youth players don't get so many opportunities there because it's much more risky.
