Jude Bellingham says he will "wait his turn" for the England captaincy following another fine display for his country, this time against Ukraine.
Bellingham, who has already captained his Borussia Dortmund side despite his tender years, was talking after England beat Ukraine 2-0 in their Euro 2024 qualifying Group C match.
Bellingham – stationed in midfield alongside Jordan Henderson and Declan Rice – was another to stand out as he put in another composed performance in his 22nd start for his country.
The midfielder – still aged just 19 – has been earmarked as future captain material and speaking after the match, he said that it is the biggest honour in football to captain your country.
However, he also tempered expectations, telling Channel 4 he respected those ahead of him in the queue.
