New City 'keeper Ian Walker is a surprise inclusion in the England squad that will face Albania tomorrow night.

His call up has been forced due to Nigel Martyn having to withdraw because of a damaged knee and with David James and Paul Robinson both out through injury Walker was the obvious choice.

F.A spokesbloke Adrian Bevington said "Nigel Martyn has returned to Leeds after tweaking his knee in training.

"The decision was taken for him to return to Leeds and, in his absence, Ian Walker has been called up to the squad."

Walker has still not yet played for Leicester yet due to him being suspended after an incident while playing for Spurs reserves while he was still a Tottenham player last season.

Walker's last involvement with England was back in 1999 when he played against Scotland.
