England: Walker needs 10 for caps century

Last updated : 23 November 2024 By Three Lions

With Harry Kane's century of England caps set to come this autumn, the Three Lions skipper currently on 98 ahead of the Nations League matches against Ireland and Finland in the autumn, next in line to reach the milestone is Kyle Walker.

Currently on 90 appearances, Walker is showing no signs of slowing down despite being 34-years-old and was voted into UEFA's team of the tournament at the Euros, his fifth major tournament with his country.

Symbolic of England's success in recent years is that Walker (22), John Stones and Jordan Pickford (24) and Kane (29) are the most-capped players in competitive tournament fixtures.

England have six Nations League matches scheduled for the remainder of 2024, before World Cup qualification is set to begin in March next year.

Still a key performer at club level for Manchester City, Walker could end the 2024/25 season by joining fellow defenders Billy Wright, Ashley Cole and Bobby Moore on three figures.

His international career now spans thirteen years after a debut, as a late substitute for Scott Parker,  in a 1-0 win against Spain at Wembley in November 2011.
