Green earned his first call-up to the full England squad while at Norwich City[9] and a year later became the sixth Norwich player in history to wear the Three Lions when he appeared as a substitute against Colombia in the United States.[10] Green remained in the England squad despite Norwich having been relegated to the Coca Cola Championship in 2005 and was selected for the England 2006 World Cup squad.[11] However, he ruptured his groin whilst taking a goal kick during the England B international against Belarus on 25 May.[12] He was replaced in the squad by Liverpool's Scott Carson.[13] The injury not only meant that Green missed the World Cup but also the start of the 2006-07 season.[14] After a prolonged absence from the international scene, Green was called up for the England "B" match in May 2007[15] and then named in the senior England squad to face Brazil and Estonia in June 2007.[16]
