West Bromwich Albion goalkeeper Ben Foster out for weeks with knee injury
West Brom goalkeeper Ben Foster has been ruled out for at least four weeks after scans revealed damaged knee cartilage.
The injury will also rule Foster out of England's forthcoming games against Lithuania and Italy.
The Albion No.1 was forced off during the second half of Saturday's 1-0 victory over Stoke after being recalled following Boaz Myhill's start in the FA Cup defeat to Villa.

Myhill will now deputise for Albion in the Premier League with young goalkeeper Jack Rose expected to step up to the bench.
Head coach Tony Pulis said: "It's rotten news for Ben because he's been so consistent.
"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."
