Man City turn to Schmeichel after Hart setback

Manchester City boss Mark Hughes admits goalkeeper Joe Hart faces several weeks out.

Hart was forced off during yesterday's 2-2 draw with Hull City and was replaced by Danish goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel.

Hughes said: "It looks initially like ankle ligaments. He has gone over on the ankle as he has come out to stop their striker, and in that collision their lad has fallen on him as well. Until we get an expert's opinion we won't know the extent of it, but it looks likely to be maybe two or three weeks."
