Neil Lennon backs Fraser Forster for England

Celtic manager Neil Lennon has backed goalkeeper Fraser Forster to break into the England squad.

The 24-year-old, who is on loan from Newcastle United until the end of the season, has kept 20 clean sheets in 33 league games this campaign.

"The exposure he gets up here is fantastic and if he is good enough he will get picked and we all believe he is good enough," said Lennon.

"He is only 24, so in terms of goalkeeping that is very, very young and he has got great potential and a great career ahead of him if he keeps doing the right things."

Forster has yet to be capped by England at any level.
