Man City players have to embrace squad rotation - Hart

Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart says line-up alterations simply come with the territory at the Etihad Stadium.

Manuel Pellegrini made a handful of changes to his City side for the midweek clash with Leicester City which saw the likes of Vincent Kompany and Pablo Zabaleta remain on the bench.

However, Hart insists that rotations are just part and parcel of having a squad full of world-class players who all need game time.

"I've been here a long time and with the squad we've got, you have to appreciate that positions change an awful lot," said the England international.

"We're used to it. It's not a big deal if there are six changes - it's not like we don't know each other. We train together every day, and train as we play, so it's no issue."
