England boss Fabio Capello has assured Joe Hart he remains in his plans, despite Manchester City's capture of Shay Given.

"I know Hart will be on the bench in the future,'' said Capello on Wednesday. "He stayed with us for 10 days when we played in the summer [against Trinidad and Tobago] so we want him to check him another time.''

Asked whether Hart would stay in the England squad despite his City demotion, Capello replied: "It is possible, really possible.''
