West Bromwich Albion goalkeeper Ben Foster is ruled out for a minimum of four weeks with a knee injury.

West Bromwich Albion have revealed that goalkeeper Ben Foster has been ruled out for a minimum of four weeks with a knee injury.

The 31-year-old was forced off during the second half of Albion's 1-0 victory over Stoke City on Saturday, and scans have shown that he has suffered a damaged knee cartilage.

The injury will rule Foster out of the England squad for the European Championship qualifier against Lithuania and the friendly with Italy later this month.

"It's rotten news for Ben because he's been so consistent," Albion head coach Tony Pulis told the club's official website.

"He kept seven clean sheets in 10 games but we have a very able man to step forward in Boaz, who has performed well when he's come into the team.

"We've got the international break coming up which I hope will give our medical team the chance to work on Ben's rehab and we will reassess later."

Boaz Myhill will deputise for Foster in his absence.
