Former Stoke City Academy player, Ben Foster has been selected to be the standby England keeper after Robert Green had to withdraw after being injured in the England B team’s 2-1 defeat against Belarus.
Foster signed for Manchester United last July but was quickly sent on a season long loan to Watford, where he played a major part in their success in reaching the Premiership via the play-off final last weekend.
It’s a major accolade for the 23 year old, who never played in a first team game for Stoke and only played his first Championship match at the start of this season.
