Ahead of the game against Cesena, Angelo Ogbonna does not think the absence of Argentina star Carlos Tevez from the Juventus lineup will have a negative effect on the team.

And the Italy international has stated that he’s ready to play in any any defensive position, though he admitted he prefers playing on the left side of defense.

“I do not think that the absence of Tevez after tomorrow can create problems, ”said Angelo Ogbonna to Sky Sport Italia.

“This year there have been many absences and there were many alternatives that can take the place of so called starters .

“I am always available, then I try to help out the team in times of need. I’d rather play on the left because of my foot, but if the team needs me to move I have no problems. ”

The Italian - Nigerian has appeared 16 times in the Serie A so far this season, including 11 starts.
