Eric Dier proud to captain England but admits he is unsure if he will retain armband for Brazil's visit: 'It is what I have aspired to since I was a young boy but I have no idea if I'll keep it'

Eric Dier professed his pride at 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 next week.

The Tottenham midfielder had his first taste of being captain of his country as a much-changed and inexperienced England drew 0-0 in an entertaining game at Wembley.

Of Gareth Southgate's starting line-up only Phil Jones, with 24 caps, was more experienced than Dier as debutants Jordan Pickford and Ruben Loftus-Cheek shone.

Dier had seen club-mates Harry Kane and Harry Winks pull out of the squad due to injury but was named as Southgate's skipper as the England manager continues his policy of not naming a permanent captain.
