Harry Maguire, the Manchester United central defender, is to be given the captain's armband when England travel to Prague to play the Czech Republic in their European Championship Group A qualifying match tomorrow, Friday 11 October.
For Maguire, it is the proudest moment of his football career so far, but for outgoing captain, Harry Kane, it comes as something of a snub, and there is already talk of a rift between the two.
Kane spluttered:
"There is a rift between the two."
Maguire, meanwhile, disagreed with this, saying:
"No, there's nothing in it at all. In fact, me and Harry have quite a lot in common - our names, for example."
England are expected to score five goals again, but may have to endure some unsavoury chanting.
