Aston Villa midfielder Gareth Barry insists he isn't thinking about the England captaincy this week.

The Villa skipper said: "There's been a lot of speculation and the manager may want to try a few different captains. I'm not really that bothered about it.

"You can name so many players who are candidates or who have got a possibility. I'm not going to choose anyone.

"A number of the squad are captains at their club and who do the job well so it would be unfair to just single one out.

"There are also players in there that have captained their country before.

"I've not thought about it at all really. I'm sure anyone who turns down an England captaincy would be foolish."
