Ben Foster has insisted that West Bromwich Albion will be in safe hands with Boaz Myhill in goal during his spell on the sidelines.

Foster is expected to be out of action for around six months after damaging cartilage in his knee, but he is confident that his fellow shot-stopper will impress in his absence.

"He's an amazing keeper – there are no worries on that front," the England international is quoted as saying by the Birmingham Mail.

"Some clubs would be worried about losing their first choice but Boaz steps up every time. He's getting better and I know the lads and the gaffer trust him totally."

The Baggies return to action with a home fixture against Queens Park Rangers on Saturday.
