Bradley Lowery, the five-year-old Sunderland fan who is battling cancer, will lead England out in their World Cup qualifier against Lithuania on March 26, according to reports.
Lowery, who is terminally ill, has won the backing of football fans across the country during his battle with neuroblastoma.
The five-year-old, who is from Blackhall, County Durham, led out Sunderland against Everton earlier this season, and on that occasion the Merseyside pledged £200,000 to an appeal towards paying for ground-breaking treatment in the U.S.
