Wilkshire has missed the beginning of City's League campaign
|
Bristol City midfielder Luke Wilkshire has been handed the captain's armband for Australia's Olympic quarter-final against Iraq on Saturday.
Wilkshire will stand in for suspended Rangers defender Craig Moore.
"Just playing in the Olympics is special enough, but being captain is a terrific honour to have," he said.
"So far, the experience has been good - however, the best experience we can have here is to win the gold medal," the 22-year-old told City's website.
