Butland Expected To Replace Hart vs Italy

Seems taken for granted, there is even a two page spread and photo from Oliver Kay in The Times this morning which does everything but deify Butland-though maybe I missed that, better read it again...

So lets get this right-his record of 0 Premier League games makes it OK for him to play for England because he is young, promising, has a macho name and has featured in the Team GB Olympic team...

Seriously, if I was Ruddy and he got picked against Italy ahead of me you'd wonder why you bothered.
