Premiere! Sturm pro captains Germany U21s
The Graz centre-back wears the captain's armband for the first time in the friendly against Belgium.
In his tenth appearance for the Germany U21 national team, Sturm pro Joshua Quarshie was bestowed a special honour.
The 22-year-old led the German youth side onto the pitch as captain for the first time in their 1-2 friendly defeat against Belgium's U21 national team.
The centre-back took over the armband as regular captains Tom Bischof (senior national team) and Nicolo Tresoldi (injured) were both unavailable.
79 minutes of action
Quarshie, on loan at SK Sturm from Southampton FC until the end of the season, started in central defence alongside Frankfurt player Nnamdi Collins and featured for 79 minutes before being replaced by Salzburg defender Leandro Morgalla.
However, Quarshie's captaincy debut ended in a 1-2 defeat for the DFB side: while Muhammed Damar (25') managed to cancel out Julien Duranville's early opener for the visitors (8'), Romeo Vermant scored the winner for Belgium in the second half.
