Wayne Rooney will remain England captain going into the 2018 World Cup qualifying campaign, manager Sam Allardyce confirmed on Monday.
The 30-year-old striker, who also captains Manchester United, has been England's skipper for the past two years.
He will don the armband under Allardyce for the first time on Sunday when England launches its attempt to reach the next World Cup with a game against Slovakia in Trnava.
