Robbo out of England squad.

Rovers and England goalkeeper Paul Robinson has been pulled out of the national squad for the forthcoming World Cup qualifiers against Ukraine and Belarus with a hip problem.

The goalkeeper has withdrawn as a precaution after being monitored by the England medical staff today.

The smart money would have been on Robinson to feature at some point over the two international fixtures due to the ‘dead rubber’ nature of the games. Furthermore on current form he is Englands’ best goalkeeper.

Birmingham City stopper Joe Hart has been called up in his place.
