England's national team defender will be the captain of his country in a friendly match against Sweden. For the 23-year-old player, this match will be his 22nd appearance for the England national team.
The coach had to choose a new player because the main captain and his deputy are injured. S.Gerrard's "rivals" for the captain's title were X and Y.
In these matches, the coach plans to give rest to many key players of the squad. A, B, C, D, E, F, and G will be able to relax.
Another problem arose on Saturday. Defender X, who was supposed to make his debut for the national team, pulled a muscle, but still flew to Sweden.
