Good news from the England camp, with the confirmation from Kevin Keegan of what we always knew anyway... that Tony Adams is to return to his rightful position as captain of his country. In the increasingly likely event of him being unable to play, the armband will be couriered across north London to White Hart Lane, to be worn by Sol Campbell.

Keegan has named virtually the same squad for the French friendly as he took to Euro 2000. David Seaman and Martin Keown are included, with Ray Parlour out through injury.
