Joe Hart is facing the prospect of losing his first-choice status for country as well as club with England manager Sam Allardyce planning to start with Fraser Forster in goal for the first World Cup qualifier against Slovakia next month. The prospect of another setback for Hart comes as the goalkeeper is considering his future at Manchester City after being told by manager, Pep Guardiola, several weeks ago that he could leave and with the club seemingly poised to sign Barcelona's Claudio Bravo. City were reported on Monday to have agreed an initial £17.4 million deal for the Chile goalkeeper, who was said to be braced to travel to England on Thursday for a medical, after Guardiola seemingly accepted defeat in his efforts to sign the 33-year-old's club team mate, Marc-Andre ter Stegen. Hart was dropped for City’s opening Premier League game against Sunderland on Saturday and is likely to remain on the substitutes’ bench for the first leg of the crucial Champions League play-off against Steaua Bucharest in Romania on Tuesday, with Willy Caballero expected to keep his place in goal.

Everton are among the clubs interested in signing Hart but if the goalkeeper is to depart before the close of the transfer window a fortnight on Wednesday, a loan deal may be more likely at this stage than a permanent move given the prohibitive costs of a transfer. vectura laptop backpack mCity would demand a hefty fee for the 29-year-old, who has three years left to run on his £120,000 a week contract. yard man backpack blower 4 cycleSevilla are also interested but Hart is frustrated at being frozen out at a club he had no intention of leaving and is concerned there may not be many appealing options open to him.wildcraft ace 21 l laptop backpack jabong Although Hart is expected to be selected by Allardyce when he names his first England squad, it is understood that the former Sunderland manager wants to consider other options in terms of his starting line-up. backpack reins asda

Jack Butland is not expected to be fit in time after the Stoke City goalkeeper suffered damaged ankle ligaments in training, opening the way for Forster to stake his claim. Allardyce is an admirer of the 28-year-old Southampton goalkeeper and believes he deserves an opportunity to displace Hart, who endured a difficult time at Euro 2016 and is not expecting to return to first-team action at City with Guardiola close to bringing in a new No. 1. Guardiola appeared cagey when the subject of Hart was raised at Monday's press conference in Romania and a Uefa press officer took the unusual step of interjecting and requesting that the questioning remain on the Champions League after the manager was asked if he was open to offers for Hart. City’s own media officers were not present after the flight taking them to Romania was delayed due to a fault with the air conditioning. “Since I am manager of Manchester City, from the time we were together with Joe, it was perfect,” Guardiola said.

“His behaviour, his training sessions, on the pitch, off the pitch, so he is a big professional.” Guardiola side-stepped questions about Bravo. “I think it is not the moment to talk about players who are not in Manchester City,” he said. “They are players for another club. I am not going to talk, one day before one of the most important games of the season, about transfers.” Hart looked happy enough in training on Monday and was piggy in the middle during the first part of an open session. Unable to get the ball off any of the eight players around him, at one point he grabbed coach Mikel Arteta in a playful manner. Hart’s plight has drawn some sympathy from team-mate, Kevin De Bruyne, and it is thought there are plenty at the club who are uncomfortable with the idea of Hart being jettisoned. “Of course is not easy for Joe, he is almost a legend here,” the Belgium midfielder said. “But even if it is not simple, he behaves in a good way. We have a lot of players at this time.

There are only a few injuries so we are training with around 30 players. We have plenty of matches.”The match was a cagey affair particularly in the first session when neither team enjoyed clear cut chances. NorthEast United FC breathed new life into their dying Hero Indian Super League campaign with a dramatic 1-0 victory over FC Pune City at Indira Gandhi Athletic Stadium, Guwahati, on Tuesday. NorthEast United had gone six matches without a win, losing four of them. With just two points from their last six matches they were on the verge of exit until Ivory Coast midfielder Romaric scored from a stunning free-kick in the 81st minute to leave FC Pune City's campaign in tatters. The victory helped NorthEast United accumulate 14 points from 11 matches and move to the sixth spot. With three matches still left to be played and the jinx finally broken, coach Nelo Vingada will feel more confident. Pune City on the otherhand have 15 points from 12 matches and will have to win their next two games to be assured of a place in the play-offs.

The NorthEast-Pune battle was a cagey affair particularly in the first session when neither team enjoyed clear cut chances. Momar Ndoye was the only player who provided some entertainment when he danced his way on the left but could not beat goalkeeper Subrata Paul from a narrow angle. Midfielder Jonatan Lucca also missed a good chance from just outside the box when the ball fell for him nicely but he could only shoot waywardly with his left-foot. For NorthEast United, there was hardly any chance of note with Katsumi Yusa’s attempt on goal which goalkeeper Edel Bete saved without much difficulty being the only shot on target. In the second session, FC Pune City came out all guns blazing and were unlucky not to take the lead. In the 69th minute, Lenny Rodrigues let go of a screamer from 35 yards out, even beating goalkeeper Paul but the crossbar stood in the way. Spanish midfielder Pitu then tried his luck after Izumi Arata had chested the ball down for him inside the danger zone but goalkeeper Paul measured up to the challenge with a stunning one-handed reflex save.
