Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forster is in line for a shock England recall almost SIX years after his last cap, with West Brom's Sam Johnstone 'set to pull out of Gareth Southgate's squad after missing training on Tuesday'

Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forster is in line for an England recall six years after his last cap amid reports claiming Sam Johnstone will pull out of Gareth Southgate's squad this week.

Johnstone, who has made 33 appearances for West Brom this season, was brought in to replace Aaron Ramsdale for the Three Lions' upcoming friendlies against Switzerland and Ivory Coast after the Arsenal No 1 sustained a hip injury.

But according to The Telegraph, the 28-year-old was unable to train with his international team-mates on Tuesday and is therefore set to withdraw from the squad himself, meaning Southgate has room to include another shot-stopper.
