Fielding replaces injured Green

Rob Green has withdrawn from the England squad for their Euro 2012 qualifiers against Bulgaria and Wales because of a finger injury and been replaced by Frankie Fielding.

Derby's Fielding was the first-choice keeper for England at the recent European Under-21 Championships.

The 23-year-old has conceded only three goals in five league games this season.

Ipswich keeper David Stockdale, who let in seven at Peterborough last week, is understudy to first-choice Joe Hart.

That means Fielding becomes the second Championship keeper in the squad.

Green, who has become second choice to Manchester City's Joe Hart, has returned to his club West Ham for treatment.
