Hart gets good news

FABIO Capello is giving serious thought to installing Manchester City’s Joe Hart as his number one goalkeeper at the World Cup – even though he has just 45 minutes' worth of international experience.

Hart will win his second cap in tonight’s friendly with Mexico at Wembley, confirmation of the vast strides he has made this term following an excellent season on loan at Birmingham City.

Even so, it is hard to imagine Hart being in line to oust former regular number one David James, or Robert Green.

But Capello will not discount the idea, having found himself in the position of not knowing who his best goalkeeper is less than three weeks before he puts his reputation on the line.

"I have confidence in Joe Hart," said Capello.

"He will play 45 minutes against Mexico because it is important for him to play at Wembley. It is very equal between the ’keepers and they are all starting in the same position."
