West Bromwich Albion striker Peter Odemwingie risks censure by the club after Twitter outburst The only contented players on show were the goalkeepers, with Ben Foster keeping a timely clean sheet ahead of his return to the England squad this week. Not that he is expecting to gain much meaningful employment in the two looming World Cup qualifiers. Foster knows Joe Hart is firmly ensconced as Roy Hodgson's No 1 and believes the Manchester City player could yet become England's all-time record appearance-maker. Hart, 25, has 28 caps, still 97 appearances behind world record holder Peter Shilton, but Foster said: "Without doubt, he will beat it. What he has on his side is not only his age, but physical fitness. I've trained with him and he's like a 15-year-old who jumps about like a big kid. Foster, who has five caps, admitted that playing for England is still not his priority even though he has agreed to return after his self-imposed, two-year absence for family reasons. The goalkeeper is returning because his children are at school age now, rather than being babies, and because Roy Hodgson, his former West Bromwich Albion manager, is England manager instead of Fabio Capello. The West Brom goalkeeper insisted he is not bothered by critics who are unhappy with his attitude of picking and choosing when to represent his country. "If people want criticise me for wanting to spend more time with my family rather than go away with England, then that is fine," said Foster. Football is second to my family without a doubt. Another blank for Stoke extended their slide in fortunes. Manager Tony Pulis has been criticised recently with signings such as Charlie Adam having not delivered in the way that was hoped. Pulis defended Adam, who came off the bench late on, saying that off-field bereavement has affected him. The Stoke manager is hoping that joining up with Scotland this week will help the midfielder. "Getting two games under his belt would be brilliant for him," Pulis said.
