Foster Stands Firm!

Current West Brom goalkeeper Ben Foster has again turned down Fabio Capello's call to be included in his latest international squad.

Foster who declared to be an 'indefinite sabbatical' from international football last spring, was visited by Ray Clemence regarding making a return to the England fold to provide much needed support for Joe Hart. Foster instead opted to maintain his international stance, claiming that he needs to concentrate on his club form for WBA.

The former Birmingham and Manchester United stopper joins fellow Premiership goalkeeper Paul Robinson in distancing himself from international football, at a time when the England goalkeeping ranks are looking particularly bleak.

With Foster and Robinson out of contention, it leaves only Hart and Norwich City's John Ruddy as first choice English goalkeepers in the Premiership - who Capello has deemed unqualified to be included in his latest squad.

One can only wonder what will happen should Joe Hart suffer an injury.....
