Having returned to action following a long-term knee injury, goalkeeper Fraser Forster says he is delighted to be involved with the England squad once again.
The stopper suffered the injury while playing for club side Southampton last March, but fought back to return to action in January of this year.

Speaking to the media at St. George’s Park, Forster said he’s pleased to be back in the fold for the first time since November 2014.
“It has obviously been a tough year – it was a year [on Monday] that I got injured,” he said.
“There were a lot of hard days but it is great to be back involved and since getting fit it couldn't have gone much better really – we are on a great run at Southampton – and to be back involved is fantastic.
“It is an honour to be involved for England and play for England, there are tough days but these trips and days with England makes it all worthwhile.
“There will always be tough days when you're injured but it makes you appreciate these days much more.”
