Lahm named new Germany skipper

I have a say

Posted Friday, May 28, 2010 by PA

Philipp Lahm has been confirmed as Germany's new captain, although he will not be leading the team out for their friendly international against Hungary on Saturday..

The Bayern Munich full-back will wear the captain's armband in South Africa due to the injury-enforced withdrawal of Michael Ballack while Bastian Schweinsteiger has been named as vice-captain.

"I think both players have an important role and will take on lots of responsibility," said Germany coach Joachim Low. "Both have played a really good season with Bayern Munich and, in the past few years with the national team, they have played a very important role."
