Milner set to captain England against the Netherlands
Liverpool midfielder James Milner is set to captain his country for the first time when England face the Netherlands on Tuesday evening.
The 30-year-old has previously only skippered the Three Lions after inheriting the armband during games, but will now take on the honour officially for a friendly fixture at Wembley Stadium.
In the absence of the injured Wayne Rooney, vice-captain Gary Cahill stepped in to lead Roy Hodgson's side as they beat Germany 3-2 in Berlin on Saturday.
But, with changes expected for the meeting with the Dutch, Milner will take on the captaincy as England strive for another confidence-boosting victory against top opposition.
Reds will also be able to see Daniel Sturridge in action at Wembley, after Hodgson confirmed the striker will start against Danny Blind's men.
