West Bromwich Albion manager Steve Clarke has confirmed that goalkeeper Ben Foster will come out of England retirement.

The 29-year-old turned his back on the Three Lions in 2011, citing personal reasons and injury woes, but it had been reported that the shot-stopper was considering a return to fight Joe Hart for the England number one spot.

"He would like to play in a major tournament," BBC Sport quotes Clarke as saying.

Foster may be included in Roy Hodgson's side to face San Marino and Montenegro in England's World Cup qualifiers.
