Norwich City goalkeeper John Ruddy has been ruled out of UEFA EURO 2012 after breaking a finger.

The 25-year-old was one of two uncapped players included in new manager Roy Hodgson's 23-man England squad, but has now been withdrawn after suffering the injury in training on Thursday.

Birmingham City's Jack Butland, who spent this season on loan at Cheltenham Town, will now move up from the standby list and will join the squad next week ahead of the second warm-up friendly against Belgium.

Birmingham manager Chris Hughton backed the inexperienced Butland to cope with his rapid elevation through the ranks. "It'll be great for his experience and development, I don't think he would be fazed by it," Hughton told Sky Sports News.

He's a mature lad, you can't get where he is at 19 as a goalkeeper without that maturity.

"He's a mature lad, you can't get where he is at 19 as a goalkeeper without that maturity - obviously you've got to have the ability but you need that maturity and that he does have. It's a massive step up but the experience he'll gain working with Ray Clemence and Dave Watson and around the quality of players will be invaluable."

He added: "Funnily enough I initially didn't think too much of him, but then he went to Colombia with the [England] U-18s and that's where he really shone. Then he went with the U-21s and he's had this rise now.

"We've seen a fair amount of him at Cheltenham, where he's performed very well, he went back after Christmas and it's been a great part of his development, so we're grateful to Cheltenham.

"My thoughts also have to be with John Ruddy, he's had a wonderful season with Norwich and deserved that opportunity, but they certainly have a worthy replacement in young Jack."
