The 33-year-old has not been in full-training since he returned in January from a 10-month lay-off from an anterior cruciate ligament injury.

Foster was part of Hodgson's squad before his injury but the England manager today named Joe Hart, Fraser Forster, and Tom Heaton as his three keepers in a 26-man squad due to be whittled down to 23 at a later date.

But Foster – who played under Hodgson at Albion – has been in regular contact with his former boss.

"Roy knows the situation, he's been really good to me so far," said Foster.

"He's not selected me because he knows the situation with my knee so hopefully it can clear up sooner than later.

"It's ok, it's manageable, as long as I do manage it and I'm sensible and I don't go doing stupid things away from football."

Foster has looked comfortable in goal ever since he returned to the Albion side, but he revealed that his knee was still not 100%.

Now it's been confirmed that he won't be going to the Euros, he plans to use the summer to try and fix the problem.

"I just need to have an assessment on my knee really," he said.

"It's been a little bit topsy-turvy the last month especially. It's been a case of having to really manage it.

"Something in the summer, we'll have to really look at it to be honest with you.

"I don't think I will have to have surgery, it's just the fact I'm 33-years-old and when you start getting knee injuries at that age they need to be managed.

"I'm in the situation where I'm not really training fully, and having to rest it up early doors.

"I'm only training really Thursday and Friday."

A keen cyclist, Foster took part in a charity ride from London to Paris during his rehabilitation, and he still spends a lot of his time pedalling.

"To be fair the hours on the bike actually help it, keeps the knee strong," said Foster.

"It's low impact as well, it's probably the only thing I can do really.

"That's what I do Monday Tuesday, bike sessions."

After yesterday's 1-1 draw with Liverpool, Albion ended the season on 43 points, one fewer than last season's tally.

If Bournemouth don't beat Manchester United in Tuesday night's rearranged fixture, the club will finish in 14th.

Asked for his assessment of the season as a whole, Foster said: "It was ok, the main objective was to stay safe.

"You see the teams that have gone down this season, the likes of Newcastle and Villa, proper big teams.

"The fact we've managed to stay up is probably objective done, but the situation we were in with eight or ten games left to play, we probably could have wished for a little bit more.

"We could have got a little bit more as well."

Although the Baggies ended the season on a nine-match winless streak, Albion's keeper said the mood in the dressing room was not all doom and gloom.

He said: "The mood's actually been alright to be fair.

"If it was obvious we'd just sacked it off and weren't giving it a good go then people could probably have a good word to say about it

"But the fact we deserved more than what we got – against Liverpool for example, we probably should have won 3 or 4-1.

"I think we were genuinely quite unlucky in a few of the games. We could have got a lot more than we did get.

"The good thing is we did keep going and gave it our all to the end."
