Butland Comments on Euro 2016 Hopes

Tuesday, March 29

“I don’t think it is (the European Championships) going to be an option for me now, to be honest, because I won’t be able to play again between now and the end of the season," he told #pottersmag (h/t StokeCityFC.com).

Butland added:

I will have an operation on Tuesday night and then it is all about working hard and making sure I come out the other side stronger and better than before. 

It is difficult because I have been working towards the Euros this summer, but I won’t be able to be part of that experience now.

According to the Guardian's Daniel Taylor, Butland's first-half injury suffered in the international friendly against Germany will keep him sidelined for three months.

Undeserved Slice of Ill-Fortune for In-Form Butland

The Stoke keeper has enjoyed an exceptional breakout campaign during the 2015-16 season, establishing himself as England's second-choice stopper behind Manchester City's Joe Hart.

Butland has shown superb reflexes and top-drawer shot-stopping capabilities throughout the year, and he would fully have deserved his place aboard the flight to France for Euro 2016.

The news of his injury will also be a big blow to Stoke, who currently sit eighth in the Premier League standings and are still battling for a UEFA Europa League ticket.

Jakob Haugaard is likely to replace Butland in the Stoke City goal.
