Peterborough United goalkeeper Joe Lewis has
been drafted into the England squad by Fabio Capello.
Lewis has been added to the party for the upcoming friendlies
against the United States and Trinidad & Tobago due to a
fitness concern over one of the keepers already in the squad.
Capello originally selected David James, Chris Kirkland and Joe
Hart for the friendly double-header, but it is unclear which of the
trio is carrying a knock.
To provide cover, Capello has called on Lewis, who only made his
debut for the Under 21 side as a substitute for Hart in the win
over Wales earlier this month.
Posh director of football Barry Fry confirmed
that the youngster had been summoned to train with the England
senior side.
"This is fantastic news for Joe and Peterborough United," Fry
told the club's official website.
"I believe there has been an injury to one of the goalkeepers in
the squad and they have called Joe up. It will be a fantastic
experience for him."
Lewis was a club record signing for Peterborough from Norwich in
January and played a key role in the club clinching promotion to
League One.
