Wigan Athletic manager Shaun Maloney spoke about the captaincy situation at the moment.

00:00I'm also aware of some of the other players I see in that type of role. Obviously, Charlie's
00:07led us quite a few times. I think, being the age of 20, he's a big ask to give him that
00:14sort of responsibility. He obviously definitely does it on matchdays. I think he's a big ask
00:20at 20 to do that for the full club. Actually, I know the relationship he has with Jason
00:25is really strong. That works. The other players, probably, bringing into that group, Cal Mac,
00:32it's just an unbelievable story at our club. In his own way, he's really strong in the
00:38training ground and the dressing room, same as Sessegnon, in his own way. Obviously, now
00:43Williamson's going to join that group as well. I don't really see any particular vice-captain.
00:50I see just Jason as the captain and then, at any other point, the other players can
00:54step in. There's other ones that are close. I think Tello Asgard's, in his very own personal
01:01way on the pitch, takes the ball under an enormous amount of pressure. I think that
01:09will evolve for him this season.
