Angus Gunn has already been drafted in while Lewis Cook and Dominic Solanke are both under considerat­ion.

Meanwhile, Eric Dier (below) says he was so proud to be captaining England in Friday’s friendly draw with Germany but admits he does not know if he will lead out the Three Lions against Brazil on Tuesday.

The Tottenham ace had his first taste of being captain of his country at Wembley. Dier,

23, said: “I have no idea who will be captain for the next one. “It is a question for Gareth – I couldn’t tell you to be honest.

“It was a very proud moment for me and my family.

“I’m very proud and it is something I have aspired to since I was a young boy, there is only one thing better than playing for England and that is captaining England.”

Southgate has opted against naming a full-time England captain since dropping Wayne Rooney at the start of his tenure.
