West Brom defender Ridgewell says Foster can challenge Hart for England No1 spot

West Bromwich Albion defender Liam Ridgewell says Ben Foster is capable of dislodging Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart as England's No1.

The Baggies defender reckons the Three Lions boss now has a major selection headache on his hands as there is nothing to separate the pair.

He told the Mirror: "I know them both very well and they're both very good keepers.

"The two of them are brilliant shot-stoppers, good at kicking, good at talking and when you need them most they make that vital save.

"I'd hate to be Roy in having to try to pick one of them! I am sure it will be a very good competition between them. It is phenomenal to think there is someone ahead of Ben, we have two such good goalkeepers who both deserve to play in every game."
