Fraser Forster is now England's Number One by default after Jack Butland joined Joe Hart o the injury list after being carried off in the friendly against Germany.
I have to say that despite his good form for Saints, on merit Fraser Forster was England's third choice keeper, both Joe Hart and Jack Butland were ahead of him in the pecking order and deservedly so having both had excellent seasons for their clubs so far.
That has meant that Forster looked like having to be content with going to the Euro's as number 3 in the goalkeeping order. However he probably would have been well pleased to have been able to do that in the month's after his knee injury just over a year ago.
But now he could find himself with the opportunity to be number one in France this summer after Jack Butland suffered an ankle injury that could well keep him out of the England squad for the Championships, adding to the injury issues that Joe Hart has at present that are sidelining him at Manchester City.
It is likely that Hart will return to the Manchester City side in the next few weeks if reports are accurate, but this season he has suffered a number of niggling pulls and strains and that could well let Forster into the side.
Roy Hodgson has quite rightly stated that Hart is his number one, the City keeper has been consistent for his country and Hodgson quite rightly has said that whilst it is good to see the likes of Butland and Forster playing well for their clubs and pushing for a place, it is Hart's to keep whilst his form continues.
But the injuries to both Hart and Butland will be a worry and it could well give Fraser Forster a chance to stake his claim, he was scheduled to start the game against Holland coming up and that game now has extra emphasis for him.
If Butland does not make the final cut due to injury then Forster will go as number two, so the Holland game is important for him to stake his claim and show that he is very capable of stepping into Joe Hart's shoes should the situation arise.
If he then has a run of games then his fate is in his own hands, although Hodgson has stated that Hart is the number one, he more than anyone will know sides have to be picked on merit and if a player comes in and puts in a series of top knotch performances then it is hard to leave him out.
Hopefully Joe Hart and Jack Butland will both be fit this summer, but f they aren't then the opportunity is there for Fraser Forster.
