Norwich City goalkeeper John Ruddy admits that avoiding relegation from the Premier League is more important to him than going to the World Cup with England.

John Ruddy has said that avoiding relegation with Norwich City is more important to him than securing a place in England's World Cup squad.

The 27-year-old is one of four goalkeepers included in Roy Hodgson's squad for next week's friendly against Denmark.

Ruddy told The Independent: "Staying up in the Premier League, without a doubt. People might think that's a bit strange but that's my bread and butter, that's what provides me and my family with a life, that's what I enjoy doing week in, week out.

"The World Cup's a fantastic opportunity but that's every four years. Getting into the Premier League got me into the England squad so it can be done, and hopefully I can do both come the end of the season."

Norwich currently sit 15th in the Premier League table, four points clear of the bottom three.
