Robert Green has been rewarded for his tremendous early-season form with a call-up to the England squad to face Montenegro at Wembley on Tuesday week.
The goalkeeper has caught the eye with his displays this season - most notably in helping the Hammers secure a 1-0 victory against Tottenham Hotspur last month. Green, 30, has eleven caps to his name but has not figured so far in UEFA EURO 2012 qualifying.
He played a key role in helping the Three Lions to the 2010 FIFA World Cup and started the opening match against the United States.

With 2012 UEFA European Championship and CAF Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, 2011 UEFA European Under-21 Championship play-offs and friendly matches being contested all over the world, the Hammers' international representatives will certainly be kept busy.
