James Ward-Prowse: England will be fine without Joe Hart

Jack Butland and Fraser Forster will audition to be Hart’s understudy during the Three Lions’ friendlies with Germany tonight and Holland next Tuesday.

And Ward-Prowse, who is good friends with both, believes England are in safe hands.

England Under-21s captain Ward-Prowse lined up for the Young Lions with Butland but plays his club football for Southampton in front of Forster.

He said: “They are top goalkeepers and it wouldn’t be any surprise if they had to step in through injury and we were just as successful.

“I think all of the keepers are ready. Fraser has been in fantastic form.

“He has been the reason why we have been so solid at Southampton.
