Butcher told The Sun: “Just like Becks, Sol is worth his place back with England.
“He would not let us down and has had a great England career. I really like Sol as a player.
“He’s shies away from all the hype and just gets on with the job in hand.
“To lose as many centre-backs as England have is unfortunate but we can rely on Sol to come in and give it his best shot.
“Like me, he will wear the Three Lions shirt with pride.”
