Man City boss Pellegrini: England form will decide Hart place

Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini admits Joe Hart's England form could convince him about a recall.

Hart has been replaced in goal by Costel Pantilimon, yet he is expected to play in one of two England friendlies against Chile and Germany at Wembley later this month.

Chilean Pellegrini told the Daily Star: "I will watch him on TV.

"I don't know if Joe will play for England but I'm sure if he plays he will do very well.

"We will see what happens.

"For the moment we are playing with Pantilimon but we are all supporting Joe Hart and he will come back, but I can't say when."

He added: "It doesn't matter to me who Joe plays against.

"For Joe it's very good news that Roy Hodgson gives him his trust.

"I agree absolutely with Roy."
