Joe Hart looks set to play the full 90 minutes of England's friendly against Hungary on Wednesday after doubts were raised over Ben Foster's involvement in the squad. Sky Sports News claimed on Tuesday evening that the Birmingham City player withdrew from the squad to due an injury picked up in training. He would be the second keeper to leave the squad. Paul Robinson pulled out on Sunday, saying he was retiring from international football as he did not want to be "third or fourth choice" keeper. That would leave England with only one keeper for the match, and facing coach Fabio Capello with the decision of going into the match with one keeper or adding another keeper to his squad as backup. Robert Green and David James are two possibilities, or he could ask Frank Fielding or Alex McCarthy to step up from the U21 team to provide cover. Foster would be the fourth player to pull out of Capello's squad, with Wes Brown also announcing his retirement from international football. Darren Bent, the Sunderland forward, withdrew due to a back injury.
