Jack Butland stepped up his recovery from a fractured ankle earlier today by coming off crutches.
The Stoke City and England goalkeeper has required the walking aids ever since he suffered the complaint while in action against Germany in March.
However, despite being ruled out of this summer's Euro 2016, the 23-year-old has provided a positive update.
Butland made 38 appearances for club and country this season before the injury struck.
