England coach Roy Hodgson refused to criticise Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini for axing Joe Hart.
Hodgson refused to criticise Pellegrini's decision to keep Hart on the sidelines for City's last three matches.
He said: "Every manager must manage his club in the way he thinks is the best way to manage the club and make the decision regarding players that he must make.
"I do the same thing. As far as I'm concerned I look at the English goalkeepers who are available and then I choose the ones I want. Having chosen the ones I want, I then pick the one I think is best to play in goal.
"Up to now that's been Joe Hart and will continue to be so, certainly for these games.
"Manuel Pellegrini at Man City is totally entitled to do the job he wants to do with the club."
