GUIMARAES, Portugal: England forward Raheem Sterling said he was left"fuming" after his PR company issued a release suggesting that he would be captaining England in Thursday's Nations League semi-final against the Netherlands.
The statement was therefore surprising given that England manager Gareth Southgate rarely indicates his team selection choices ahead of competitive games and it would be normal practice for him or the Football Association to announce any captaincy decision. Questioned about the situation, Sterling said:"I woke up this morning fuming. I haven't had a conversation with Gareth or anyone in my agency. It was a strange one for me to wake up and see that."Kane and Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson would be ahead of Sterling for the skipper's role, but they were among those involved in the Champions League final in Madrid on Saturday.
"It's been a different preparation. But there are always complications. We have shown incredible adaptability as a team over the last two years," added Southgate.
