Southampton keeper Fraser Forster 'pulls out of England squad with injury'

Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forster has reportedly withdrawn from the England squad due to an arm injury.

The 28-year-old was expected to challenge Joe Hart for the starting spot in Sunday's World Cup qualifier against Slovakia.

However, according to The Telegraph, Forster will leave the Three Lions' training camp at St George's Park to receive treatment back at his club.

It is believed that England manager Sam Allardyce was seriously considering giving Forster the nod above Hart, who joined Torino on loan today after starting just one of Manchester City's five games of the season so far.

Forster has earned six international caps, but all of them came in non-competitive fixtures.
