Former Manchester City defender Richard Dunne has heaped praise on Fernandinho.

The midfielder has returned after being a month out with a hamstring strain.

Dunne told City's website: “He's the ultimate defensive midfielder in this era.

“Having him as the organiser is so, so valuable. Even when he plays centre-half, he's missed in midfield!

“He does it brilliantly well and doesn't look out of place, but you can tell he's not in the midfield."
