Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart believes he could be back before the end of the month.

The Daily Mail says Hart believes he could be back in 12 days as scans have allayed fears of serious damage to his ankle ligaments.

Hart limped out of City's 2-2 draw at Hull on Sunday after a clash with Daniel Cousin and was expected to be out for at least four weeks. But tests have revealed the 21-year-old could face Manchester United on November 30.
