Clemence: Green can regain England spot
Ray Clemence believes West Ham keeper Rob Green has the mental strength to regain the England number one spot.
Green was axed by Fabio Capello after his blunder gifted United States midfielder Clint Dempsey an equaliser in the World Cup opener in Rustenburg and he was replaced by David James.
Joe Hart is Capello's current first choice and is expected to start the Euro 2012 qualifier with Montenegro at Wembley on Tuesday.
But Clemence has been impressed with Green's form in recent games after a difficult start to the Premier League campaign and he has been included in the England squad for the first time since South Africa.
England goalkeeping coach Clemence said: "Robert is obviously a good keeper otherwise he wouldn't have gone to the World Cup in the first place. I have seen the last two games and he has played very well.
"It was a difficult summer for him and a difficult start to the season which you could understand because there was an awful lot of pressure on him. But he looks to be getting back to where he was before the World Cup."
