The Arsenal midfielder will lead his country out on Tuesday for the first time.
Declan Rice is ready for a “pinch me moment” when he captains England for the first time on Tuesday against Belgium.
His fine season will continue when he leads his country out as skipper in front of a sold-out Wembley in the final match before manager Gareth Southgate names his 23-man squad for Euro 2024. “I gave him a hug, shook his hand, and said ‘thanks very much’. I owe him a lot. Since I first came into the team he’s always made me feel at home.
Southgate handed Rice his debut in 2019, with the midfielder having already received three senior caps for the Republic of Ireland.
