Declan Rice named as England vice-captain by Tuchel for World Cup bid

• Bellingham wore armband in second half v New Zealand

• Tuchel unsure if Arsenal quartet play against Costa Rica

Declan Rice has been named England’s vice-captain by Thomas Tuchel, who has played down the significance of Jude Bellingham wearing the armband during the second half of the 1-0 victory against New Zealand.

Although Bellingham captained the side after coming off the bench in Saturday’s World Cup warm-up in Tampa, Tuchel said that was simply because the midfielder was the player on the pitch with the most ­international appearances.
