It's rotten news for Ben because he's been so consistent

The England stopper was taken off during Saturday's 1-0 win over Stoke and scans have revealed damaged cartilage.

Myhill replaced Foster on Saturday and will deputise while 20-year-old rookie Jack Rose will provide back-up to the former Wales international.

"It's rotten news for Ben because he's been so consistent," Baggies boss Tony Pulis said.

"He kept seven clean sheets in 10 games but we have a very able man to step forward in Boaz (Myhill), who has performed well when he's come into the team.

"We've got the international break coming up which I hope will give our medical team the chance to work on Ben's rehab and we will reassess later."

Foster could miss the majority of the Baggies' final run-in - starting at Manchester City on Saturday - and they currently sit eight points above the bottom three.
