Queens Park Rangers' Green arrives in the squad after the injury to Southampton's Fraser Forster, who was substituted during his side's 2-0 win against Burnley.

Rose has also been added to the squad after Manchester United left-back Luke Shaw's withdrawal, as confirmed by TheFA.com.

The player has had a fine season for Tottenham Hotspur and was unlucky to be left out of the original pick by Hodgson.

Butland joins up as additional goalkeeper coverage after being promoted from Gareth Southgate's under-21 squad. 

The 35-year-old Green has performed well for Rangers this year despite his team being in the thick of the relegation dogfight. 

The goalkeeper has 12 full international caps to his name, per QPR's official website, and linked up with Hodgson's team on Saturday night.

Rose joins Spurs team-mates Harry Kane, Andros Townsend and Kyle Walker in the squad, with the player having a good chance of game time, depending on Hodgson's chosen tactics.

The pick is a worthy reward for Rose, who has established himself as first choice at White Hart Lane as he experiences his breakout season in Tottenham colours.
