England under-21s coach Lee Carsley has confirmed Morgan Gibbs-White will captain the side in games against France and Croatia this month.
The 23-year-old was one of 26 players selected by Carsley in preparation for this summer's under-21s Euro Finals in Romania and Georgia. The Nottingham Forest attacker has been impressive for Steve Cooper this season and there was speculation he could even be included in Gareth Southgate's senior England squad.
However, after missing out on this month's Euro 2024 qualifiers against Italy and Ukraine, Gibbs-White has the consolation of captaining the young Lions for the first time. "He's been on a brilliant journey for the last two years," Carsley said.
