Jack Butland has described Joe Hart as someone he looked up to as he prepares to replace him in between the sticks for England this weekend. The goalkeeper is set to start for the Three Lions against Germany on Saturday - and hopefully against the Netherlands on Tuesday - after Hart was injured in Sundays Manchester derby.He will face competition from Fraser Forster and Tom Heaton for the spot - and a place on the plane to France for Euro 2016 - but Butland says the England goalkeepers get on extremely well and described Hart as a modern hero for him earlier in his career. Jack Butland says he looked up to Joe Hart (left) at Birmingham City I wasnt a goalkeeper until I was 13 or 14 so before that, my heroes were the likes of Paul Scholes and David Beckham, but since becoming a goalkeeper, Ive obviously trained with Joe Hart, Butland told Sky Sports at the launch of Englands Euro 2016 kit with Nike.We trained together for a couple of years when I was at Birmingham and he was someone who, at the time, was making the moves in the game that I wanted to make.He was certainly someone that I looked up to, having trained with him for that year, as a much more modern hero for sure. Butland has earned three caps for the England senior squad Its very positive between the England goalkeepers. We get on extremely well, and at the end of the day, its where we work and you want it to be as enjoyable as possible.From our point of view as professionals, we want to be competitive and be the best but its enjoyable at the same time. We push each other on, we congratulate each other and we back each other so there are lots of positive things going on. From our point of view as professionals, we want to be competitive and be the best but its enjoyable at the same time. We push each other on. Butland on Joe Hart Its brilliant, I love coming away because its always like that and I feel like each time Ive gone on a trip with England, Ive come away feeling sharper, fitter and better about myself.England had a poor showing at the 2014 World Cup, where they failed to get out of their group - but followed it up with a 100 per cent record in qualification for Euro 2016. Butland says confidence is high in the England camp They face some testing friendlies in the next few months ahead of their June 11 opener against Russia and Butland expects the feeling to be positive in the camp as they build-up to the competition.Were obviously very confident. We believe that we have more than enough ability but were coming up against some tough sides so were trying to prepare for that, certainly over the next week against Germany and Holland, he added.We have a lot of talent in the squad with a number of young players who are coming through and making their way in the game and experienced professionals who are doing the same. Butland lines up alongside Phil Jagielka and Phil Jones before a Euro 2016 qualifier in Lithuania Theres great togetherness between everyone especially after the qualifying campaign that weve had and hopefully some good friendlies coming up that will test us.Come the end of it, hopefully the confidence will be even higher and well be ready to go so Im expecting it to be on point with everyone focused and raring to go. Statistical Euro squad Who is in the Euro 2016 squad according to the stats? Its down to us to be ready, but were confident with the players that we have and the ability that weve got that we can beat anyone. Weve shown that over the qualifying campaign and the friendlies so its down to us to convert that and make sure we do it on the big stage in the Euros.Despite his relatively young age of 23, Butland is no stranger to international competition, having already been part of the squad for Euro 2012 as well as competing in the Olympics for Team GB. Butland was part of the Team GB mens football team during the 2012 Olympics The stopper believes his 28 appearances for the under-21s gives him a great platform for the upcoming tournament in France.Ive been fortunate enough to go to many tournaments - the Euros in Poland and Ukraine, two European Championships with the under-21s, the under-20 World Cup and other tournaments with the younger age groups with England where weve been successful as well. Key dates We look at the key dates coming up in Englands diary Ive had my fair share and I know what its like and what it takes to go away for long periods of time, how to keep busy and how to keep focused so I think it will set me up perfectly in terms of experience for the summer and hopefully my performances from this year can add to that.Ive been working all season and all my career to be No 1. Ill do my best to continue that for the rest of the year to put together as big of a case as I can for myself.But ultimately, I want to part of a successful team with England no matter who plays in goal. Ill back and support anyone who is in there and hopefully on a personal note - and more importantly as a team - its a positive and successful one.Jack Butland wears Englands new 2016 home goalkeeper kit, built for speed with revolutionary Nike Aeroswift innovation.

The 24-year-old skater also helped the Canadian relay team finish first in its heat in the 3,000-metre event and qualify for Saturdays semifinal.I felt like my legs were strong, even if I was a bit nervous about skating at home, said Maltais. We launched the season last week in Salt Lake City and got things underway, but theres always the desire to do well on your own ice, here in Montreal.After the first race was over and done with, things went well. And now, its a go for the weekend.Maltais won a bronze medal in the womens 1,500 metres last weekend in Salt Lake City.Bastille, from Riviere-du-Loup, Que., qualified for Saturdays 1,500-metre semifinal and Sundays 1,000-metre quarter-final. He admitted he had a pretty good Friday after finishing first in both of his heats events.The second race wasnt the most pretty because of the falls, but the important thing in the 1,000 metres is to stay away from trouble, said the 29 year-old veteran. I did well to skate a safe race.Marianne St-Gelais of Saint Felicien, Que., had an uneven day. She finished first in her heat in the 500-metre race and qualified for the quarter-final of that event to take place Saturday, but was disqualified from the womens 1,000 metres for interfering with a Hungarian skater.I was expecting it at the end of the race.dddddddddddd I was too aggressive, said St-Gelais of the infraction. I fought too hard to maintain my second position, I used my arms a little… Its not something I normally do. I tried it, it didnt work and now I wont ever do it again.The Canadian womens relay nearly was eliminated when St-Gelais came close to falling after a push initiated by her teammates Joanie Gervais. St-Gelais found herself on one skate before finding her balance again.It was my fault, said St-Gelais. Joanie was great, she took a larger turn to push me hard on the inside, and I wasnt yet well aligned and stable when she pushed me.Charles Hamelin of Sainte-Julie, Que., also had an up-and-down day on Friday. He placed first in the 1,500 metres and 500 metres heats, reaching the semifinal for the first event Saturday and the quarter-final in the second event set for Sunday.
