Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini insists they can handle the absence of injured goalkeeper Joe Hart.

Hart suffered a hamstring injury in their Champions League defeat to Juventus.

The loss of Hart, who has been in fine form this season, is undoubtedly a blow but Pellegrini has confidence in his replacement Willy Caballero for their clash with Southampton.

Pellegrini said: "I think he will be around 10 days out. Fortunately it is not a very serious injury but it is a muscle injury so it is important for him to recover well.

"But I never complain about players who are injured. That is why we have a squad. We lost Joe in a very good moment but it is what happens. I trust a lot in Willy Caballero. I am sure he will have a good performance in these games."
