Leicester City goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel is standing up for his fellow pro Joe Hart.

Hart recently completed a move from Manchester City to Burnley.

And City's number one believes that Hart is being treated unfairly by many in the media.

He also believes that fans can have short memories about the quality of players.

He told Sky Sports: "I've known Joe for a long time and I think he's been exceptionally harshly treated in many respects.

"Not just what happened at Man City, where I don't think he was given a chance to prove what he could do, and then the whole England debacle I found that quite staggering at the time.

"But for Joe, the important thing is to get home, stay living at home and get a bit of normality back into his life.

"Two years of uncertainty is tough for anyone and having everyone call your ability into question is bound to be tough.

"But if there's one thing I know about Joe then it's his mentality, his strength of mind and if anyone can bounce back from that or come through that, it's definitely him."
