"I am undecided who will be captain for the next game and Wayne Rooney is very young but I believe in the future he could be captain of England one day," Capello said.



"What are his qualities for the role? He is a leader, he is a good example on the pitch. Like I said, he is very young so we need to give him a bit more time to get some more experience and mature a bit."



"But I do believe he could one day be captain. He is the most talented young English player and the good thing is he has still got a big margin of improvement ahead of him."



"He is very good at everything. The one thing he can improve is the number of chances he puts away. He doesn't convert as many as he could but I am sure that will come in the future."
