I dont think it matters anymore. Not like it used to. You rarely get a captain nowadays that leads. Not like Doyle would have. A proper captain. Terry and Gerrard were probably the last of a generation. Now the armband is more of a formality and usually given to the most experienced player rather than the natural leader/General on the pitch!
There weren’t many other options in the team. He’s a senior squad member and the rest are pretty inexperienced. I think Hyam is future captain material though.
