Chelsea centre-back Gary Cahill will captain England in Saturday's international friendly against Germany.

Current Three Lions skipper Wayne Rooney is out of action with a knee problem and since the squad was announced last week, it has been speculated who would be given the armband on Saturday night.

Cahill has been confirmed as the skipper, with the 30-year-old making 40 appearances for his country since 2010. Of the current squad, only James Milner and Theo Walcott have made more international appearances than Cahill.

Tom Heaton, Danny Rose and Danny Drinkwater will all be hoping to make their international debuts during the friendlies against Germany and Netherlands.
