Carsley selects new England captain for Nations League match against Greece


With England’s regular captain Harry Kane likely to miss the upcoming Nations League game against Greece, interim manager Lee Carsley has made a thoughtful choice for who will wear the armband in his place.
Details: Manchester City defender John Stones will captain England for the match against Greece, marking his first official start as captain. Stones previously wore the armband briefly during a friendly against Brazil in March this year.
Quote: “This is something I’ve dreamed of since I was a kid. For my family, seeing me lead the team out as captain is a special moment. I can’t thank Lee enough for this; it was a wonderful conversation and one that left me speechless,” Stones shared with BBC.
Reminder: Harry Kane, England’s primary captain, sustained a minor injury during Bayern’s match against Eintracht Frankfurt, leaving his participation in the October international matches uncertain.
