Interim England manager Gareth Southgate has confirmed that Wayne Rooney will not start against Slovenia on Tuesday night. Alexander Mogilny Jersey . Southgate says the decision was based on how Slovenia are expected to play and not a reflection on how Rooney performed during Saturdays 2-0 win over Malta.Liverpool midfielder Jordan Henderson will captain England on the night in the absence of Rooney, who was booed on a couple of occasions by a small section of the home support on Saturday. Southgate says Rooney has accepted his demotion to the bench with great professionalism and that Englands all-time leading goal scorer will remain the captain of the side.Its very straightforward, said Southgate. Weve looked at Slovenia and the way they play and, from when I looked at it, Ive had in my mind the profile of the midfield that we wanted to play.In no way is it a reflection on his performance on Saturday. In fact we were very pleased with what he did. Jordan Henderson (centre) will captain England in Slovenia on Tuesday night Hes still captain of this team while Im in charge.Everything I have seen this week has only improved the feeling of how impressive he has been as a leader of this group.Not only did he accept the news with professionalism but he immediately said he wanted to talk to you [the media] today.I go back to what Ive witnessed at St Georges Park over the last three years, from afar. That has only been embellished by what Ive witnessed this week. Rooney says he respects Southgates decision Theres a depth to his leadership that unfortunately people outside of the group wouldnt be aware of.Hes almost like a coach within the dressing room already and thats a compliment to his football intelligence and whats right for the group.It is a football decision. Its based on the profile of the opposition and the type of player we believe we need for this game.On a human level, its a very difficult decision. I dont like the idea that it might bring satisfaction to some people that hes not in the team.Im probably more annoyed about that than he is. Hes had to live with that reaction through his career.Tottenhams Eric Dier will come into the starting line-up to replace Rooney and Southgate added: Eric Dier will start and its clear they are two different sorts of player.We are away from home and we need different skills for a different tactical challenge. As a coach, youve got to look at the right set-up. Eric Dier will start in Wayne Rooneys place Henderson played well against Malta and Southgate thinks he will rise to the challenge of leading the side.Ive been very impressed with him, said the interim boss.Whats stood out for me is that hes captained a club [Liverpool] where hes had to take over from one of the biggest players in English football [Steven Gerrard].In this group he has a voice, an opinion, and ideas of what we need to work on, and good tactical awareness. Hes used to the responsibility of captaining a big football club.You can watch Englands tour of Bangladesh, plus Premier League football and the British Masters on Sky Sports.

The Raptors general manager has his list of possible draft selections whittled down to a handful ahead of Thursday nights NBA draft in Brooklyn, New York. The Raptors, who have auditioned dozens of players over the past couple of weeks, have the 20th overall pick in the first round, as well as the 37th and 58th picks in the second.In his job running the NHLs department of player safety, Brendan Shanahan often had to make quick decisions. He would hold a hearing, make a ruling and shoot a video explaining a suspension all sometimes in a matter of hours. Tasked in his new role as Toronto Maple Leafs president with fixing what ails a team that lost 12 of its final 14 games to miss the playoffs, Shanahan feels plenty of internal pressure to make some changes. But he knows it wont be an easy or fast process. "Im realistic that you cant do everything overnight, that there are 29 other teams that are trying to accomplish the same goal and also covet good players," Shanahan said in a phone interview Wednesday. "No ones going to lay down for us because were the Toronto Maple Leafs and give us their assets." Shanahan, who took his time before deciding along with general manager Dave Nonis to extend coach Randy Carlyle for two more seasons and fire assistants Scott Gordon, Greg Cronin and Dave Farrish, seems willing to take a patient approach in remaking the roster to suit his style. One month into this new challenge, the 45-year-old insisted its too early to even know how much change the Leafs need. "You want to be ready to come out of the gates, we all know how important each game is, but I would say with most teams the team that starts a season isnt necessarily the same team that ends a season," Shanahan said. "For me, timing is less an issue as is the quality of the decisions. I dont feel and Im not getting any pressure from anyone in the organization saying this team has to look like this by this date." There may not be a firm deadline for major or minor changes to player personnel, but there are certainly mile-markers along the way. Sometime in the near future the Leafs must replace the three fired assistant coaches, which will happen with input from Shanahan, Nonis and Carlyle. Then the draft and free agency provide the first real chances to reshape the team. Shanahan will lean on the scouting staff as far as the drafting goes,, but he wont shy away from sharing his opinion. Christopher Tanev Jersey. When it comes to making trades and signing free agents, hell begin the true process of moulding the Leafs in his image. Given the talk about culture change and a lack of an identity from Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment president Tim Leiweke on the day Shanahan was introduced and reports that captain Dion Phaneuf, defenceman Jake Gardiner and centre Nazem Kadri are the subject of trade talks, some significant moves should probably be expected. Nonis is fond of saying even as he signs players to long-term deals that none of them include full no-trade clauses. Shanahan believes that gives the Leafs roster flexibility to make changes. "I would agree with Daves assessment," he said. "Absolutely." Shanahan wasnt showing his hand on how quickly he might want to make moves, cautioning that he doesnt have a one-size-fits-all theory on how to conduct business. "Im confident in my ability to make informed decisions when I think theyre right not on any timetable," he said. "Basically we could be making decisions that would appear that were being hasty, but if the right decision is there and its there right now, well make it. And if I feel that the strong decision and the strong move is to sit back and wait, then Ill do that as well." In the short-term, theres keen interest in what Shanahan does with a team that made the playoffs in the lockout-shortened 2013 season and fell short in 2013-14 following a memorable collapse. But beyond hinting that in-season changes could also be coming, he intends to look elsewhere in the organization for big-picture alterations. "I know that whats probably most interesting to fans and to people around the league are coaching decisions and player-personnel decisions," Shanahan said. "But also I think its equally as important to devote time to your player-development staff, your scouting staff -- just the entire guts and foundation of what makes a strong organization."
