Burnley goalkeeper Joe Hart accepts England recall unlikely

Burnley goalkeeper Joe Hart admits a return to the England squad is unlikely.

Hart left Manchester City for the Clarets this summer.

He told Sky Sports: "Stuff out of my hands is out of my hands, how people want to play it is up to them. I am going to continue to push, Burnley is obviously my priority, and whatever happens, happens.

"I could have had a long summer where I felt sorry for myself, but I love it too much, I love challenges. The summer was amazing, I was absolutely gutted and other words that I wasn't in the World Cup squad, but you've got to make the best. I had a fantastic summer, I enjoyed it, I bounced into this pre-season, and I'm ready to go.

"Loved the players, big fans of them, couldn't be prouder of what they did. It made people happy, it put smiles on people's faces, myself included. I'll keep supporting, I'll be an England fan no matter what, and I'll stay true to my word."
