Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson feels Sam Johnstone is capable of being England's No1.

Johnstone is now a member of the Three Lions squad.

Hodgson said, Luckily, that's not my decision. It would have been a tough one, I think, because I am pretty convinced that Gareth Southgate appreciates both players, likes both players.

I suppose it's a question at the moment that Pickford has assured that he has not let England down over the last 4 years he has been playing, so it's up to Sam to play so well that he knocks him off his perch.

But it's a nice position for Gareth to be in, to be able to choose between those two players, and I am glad it's his dilemma to ponder and not mine.

He is doing very well. He is doing very well, and when Henderson gets fit, we will have two absolutely good goalkeepers.

That's important because the goalkeeper is such an important member of your team, really. He is the one who wins you lots of points. They don't always get the accolades for it. It's the goalscorer, but the goalkeeper really is just as important in terms of point winning as the centre-forward."
