John Ruddy says that he is "determined" to break back into the England squad after dropping out of the Euro 2012 squad with a broken finger.

Norwich City goalkeeper John Ruddy has expressed his disappointment in dropping out of England's European Championship squad with a broken finger.

The Canaries' number one was ruled out of the 23-man squad after suffering the blow in training, and to add insult to injury, the 25-year-old broke his ring finger weeks before his wedding.

Ruddy posted on Twitter: "Thank you for the messages, gutted but determined to come back better next season, can't wait for the wedding now!

"Taken lots of positives from the 2 days training, and the biggest positive is that it happened with England before a major tournament!

"Also to everyone who has asked...as if it wasn't unlucky enough, it IS my ring finger and also my first ever broken bone!"

Birmingham City keeper Jack Butland has been called into Roy Hodgson's squad as a replacement.
