Delighted Doyle handed captaincy
“It’s a massive honour, my first time,” said the Wolves striker who will also be earning his 29th cap. “Obviously I realise it’s because a number of the lads have been sent home to prepare for the weekend – and some of them have far more caps than me – but still it’s a massive honour and I’m delighted. It came as a bit of a shock, it never entered my head. I’ve only been a few years in the squad, but I suppose I’m one of the older lads now, which is strange. But very few people get to captain their country and that it’s a friendly game doesn’t make any difference to me. I want to remember it and relish every second of it.”
Doyle, who briefly captained Reading last year during an injury crisis, said he had not prepared any inspirational words.
