West Bromwich Albion goalkeeper Ben Foster faces at least four weeks on the sidelines after scan results revealed he has damaged knee cartilage. Foster, 31, sustained the injury during his side's 1-0 victory against Stoke on Saturday and was forced to come off during the second half. West Brom head coach Tony Pulis concedes the news is a blow to the club, but he is confident that backup goalkeeper Boaz Myhill will be able to make an impact in Foster's absence. "It's rotten news for Ben because he's been so consistent," Pulis told the club's official website. "He kept seven clean sheets in 10 games but we have a very able man to step forward in Boaz, who has performed well when he's come into the team. "We've got the international break coming up which I hope will give our medical team the chance to work on Ben's rehab and we will reassess later." The injury means Foster will miss England's upcoming internationals against Lithuania and Italy at the end of the month.
