West Ham keeper Green wins England call-up

West Ham United goalkeeper Robert Green has won a call-up to the England squad.

Green is added to the party set to travel to Paris for Wednesday's friendly.

Wigan goalkeeper Chris Kirkland played throughout Saturday's 3-1 Barclays Premier League defeat against Blackburn but has since reported discomfort, after appearing to injury himself early on at Ewood Park.

Green becomes the second goalkeeper to be added to the squad, with Tottenham's Paul Robinson called up on Saturday night following an injury to Aston Villa's on-loan Liverpool man Scott Carson.

Of the three initially selected, only Portsmouth's David James managed to come through his weekend assignment unscathed - in a 2-0 defeat against Robinson's Spurs at White Hart Lane on Saturday.
