Norwich stopper John Ruddy has been called up for England’s squad for next week’s friendly against Italy in Switzerland.
Ruddy is included in Roy Hodgson’s Three Lions party for a swift re-match of this summer’s European Championship quarter-final tie, which England lost on penalties. The City number one was ruled out of the tournament in Poland and the Ukraine after suffering a broken finger injury in training with the England squad following his initial call-up.
Ruddy is joined in the latest squad by Birmingham’s highly-rated teenager Jack Butland and first choice Joe Hart.
Former City loanee Ryan Bertrand gets his first senior call in an experimental squad selected by Hodgson that also includes Tottenham duo Steven Caulker and Jake Livermore. Ruddy will join up with the national squad on Sunday evening after featuring in the Canaries’ final pre-season friendly tomorrow against Borussia Monchengladbach. The England squad will train on Monday before travelling to Switzerland on Tuesday ahead of the match at the Stade de Suisse.
Ruddy’s Norwich team mate, Steve Morison, was also called up to the Welsh squad on Friday lunchtime for their friendly on the same night against Bosnia-Herzegovina at Lanelli. Robert Snodgrass and Russell Martin complete the Norwich quartet on international duty next week after being selected for Scotland’s friendly against Australia at Easter Road.

John's taking no chances in that photo... Probably stray balls flying about from all directions from Rooney and Carroll ;) Weldone Mr Ruddy and congratulations! Swiss, these boards could do with that "anti wan kers device" for our trolls..

@bluelight, it is a German verb that means to rock or to sway. The Swiss have proudly invented and fitted to their trains something they call an "anti-w ank device" but admit that they may have a problem in marketing this in Engkish-speaking countries.

Honest....Bookie, Wiv? That`s got to be a contender for Oxymoron of the Year! I had 8 ether notifications today. 5 for duplicates that never appeared on a pub topic and 3 "other". Meanwhile noodles & numpties abound. I hope blackdog2`s (aka New Batman`s) crusade has some effect on the way these boards are mismanaged by the Jokers. Hope JR gets some game time.

Ha ha. It's just funny. There is little more to say about the state of English goalkeeping. Good luck John you'll need it. It's such a shame that our players will embarrass themselves on the international stage. I just hope he doesn't get a game, if he does hopefully he'll only get a couple of minutes so that he doesn't make a mistake. Ged - Players Pal.

JR seems to be keeping his fingers well protected in the picture. I had better get down to the Stade de Suisse to see this spectacle then. What they don't tell you is that it is in a town just outside Berne delightfully known as (and I shall break the word here) Wa nkdorf.

Fair shout, Doc. I was being a bit unkind there, Carroll did OK in the circumstances. Shrek looked disinterested. They should have taken Dorian Holt!

To be fair I think Donkey was much more effective than Shrek at the Euros. If you discount a tap in that even Mr Sibierski could have converted, what did he do in his 2 games?

So they`re still selecting old Donkey-tail. Thought they`d give an eternal youngster like Grant "Dorian Grey" Holt a chance.
