England's Hart was dropped by City boss Manuel Pellegrini following a series of costly mistakes and was replaced by Romania's Costel Pantilimon.

However, Pantilimon was back on the bench at Fulham having conceded three in the 6-3 home win over Arsenal last weekend.

England manager Roy Hodgson has publicly backed Hart and said he hoped the 26-year-old gets enough club games before the World Cup in Brazil next June.
