Manchester United’s Wayne Rooney has withdrawn from the England squad with a knee injury, the Football Association has announced. Southgate had earlier confirmed Jordan Henderson – who has stood in as captain before – would wear the captain’s armband. In naming Henderson as captain for the match, Southgate also voiced his belief that it was important England have more players who can step up to lead the side. At times too much of that responsibility has laid with Wayne and we need to share that. Southgate was again asked about his future beyond Tuesday’s friendly but the former Middlesbrough manager was giving little away.
