Pellegrini still determined to keep Man City keeper Hart out of the limelight

Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini still thinks Joe Hart needs a rest from first team action, but will soon be back to his best form. "I think at this moment that maybe Joe needs a rest but we still have a lot of trust in Joe and he's still a very important player in our squad," Pellegrini told Sky News Arabia.

"It's very important for me as a manager - you don't have 11 players - you have 22.

"I analyse what they do every week - I talk with them.

"I am absolutely convinced he will come back to his performances of the last two years."
