England manager Fabio Capello has named Steven Gerrard as captain for the friendly with Switzerland on Wednesday.
Gerrard will lead England out at Wembley in his 64th cap after Capello opted to name the Liverpool midfielder his first captain since taking charge.
Rio Ferdinand and Michael Owen were also thought to have been candidates to be handed the armband, but Capello has decided to name Gerrard as skipper.
John Terry, who was skipper during Steve McClaren's tenure, is unavailable to face Switzerland due to injury.

Should JT be given the armband back when he returns?
