Liverpool midfielder James Milner has been confirmed as England's captain for Tuesday night's international friendly against the Netherlands.

Milner was an unused substitute for the Three Lions' memorable 3-2 victory over Germany on Saturday, with Gary Cahill standing in for the injured Wayne Rooney as skipper in Berlin.

However, the 30-year-old will get the armband for what will be his 58th cap at Wembley on Tuesday as England look to make it two wins from two in their Easter double-header.


Tuesday's match will be the first of four remaining warm-up friendlies for England before Euro 2016.
