England's number two kept a clean sheet in the 1-0 win over Switzerland, and says Gareth Southgate has re-assured him about his place
England goalkeeper Jack Butland has been re-assured about his place in the national team squad by coach Gareth Southgate despite playing his club football in the Championship this season following relegation with Stoke City.
Butland replaced Jordan Pickford in the England goal and kept a clean sheet as the Three Lions beat Switzerland 1-0 at Leicester’s King Power Stadium on Tuesday, and says Southgate has told him that, despite being the only player in the squad to play outside of the top flight, his international place is safe – for now.
