Manchester City player a strong contender to be named England captain for upcoming Brazil match

Pep Guardiola could potentially select Kyle Walker as the captain for the England national team in their friendly against Brazil this weekend.

During a break from their club commitments, many players from Manchester City’s first-team squad are preparing for the upcoming friendly matches in preparation for the European Championships this summer.

England will face Brazil and Belgium in their upcoming friendly matches, with the absence of Harry Kane leading to uncertainty regarding the captaincy for the Brazil game.

According to a report by The Telegraph’s Mike McGrath, Manchester City’s Kyle Walker is being considered for the role of England captain for the friendly against Brazil.

Last summer, Walker was chosen as the new club captain after Ilkay Gundogan’s departure, with Kevin De Bruyne serving as the vice-captain and a leadership group composed of Ruben Dias, Rodri, and Bernardo Silva aiming for further success this season.

As Manchester City continues to compete for multiple trophies this season, including the FA Cup and the UEFA Champions League, Walker’s potential England captaincy adds to an already eventful schedule for the club.
