Hart handed City reprieve
Pep Guardiola says Joe Hart could be handed a Manchester City reprieve – for one game only.
Hart has been on the bench for City’s first three games of the season, with Pep Guardiola having told him he is not part of his plans going forward.
And with City closing in on the £17million capture of Barcelona keeper Claudio Bravo, Hart is set to be relegated to third-choice at the Etihad Stadium.
But Guardiola said Hart has a chance of a recall for tomorrow’s dead rubber Champions League qualifier against Steaua Bucharest, with City holding a commanding 5-0 lead from the first leg.
He has a chance to play tomorrow. Him, Willy [Caballero], Angus [Gunn], like all the others.
I have an excellent relationship with Joe. We are clear – him with me, I with him. We spoke about football.
Until August 31, all the players here are my players, and I will work with them like there is no end, so after that we can speak about everything.
The situation with Joe, I spoke about in the last two press conferences. I am not able to speak about negotiations.”
