Declan Rice confirmed as England’s vice-captain: Thomas Tuchel has confirmed Declan Rice will be England’s vice-captain for the World Cup.
The Arsenal midfielder joined up with the squad at their training camp in Florida over the weekend, after he and his club team-mates were given extra time off following their Champions League final defeat to PSG.
"I would say Declan is my vice-captain," Tuchel replied when asked if anyone has been appointed to the role.
"I was just thinking about it, whether it is an official thing or not. But I think we had this talk when Harry was not in camp with us. Was it against Wales? Did Harry miss a game against Wales? We started with Ollie Watkins and I think Declan was captain. That was where I told him."
England face Costa Rica in Orlando in their final warm-up before opening their tournament against Croatia in Group L on June 17th.
