Joe Hart retains the backing of England manager Gareth Southgate but another goalkeeper will get the chance to prove his worth in the season-ending friendly in France
Joe Hart retains the backing of England manager Gareth Southgate but another goalkeeper will get the chance to prove his worth in the season-ending friendly in France.
Leigh Griffiths' strikes in Saturday's 2-2 draw continue to be scrutinised, but Southgate would not criticise Hart, a player whose club future is unclear after returning to Man City.
"I'm sure he'll be playing at a high level," Southgate said. "I think for all of the players, we've competition for places, so we want as many people in every position playing at a high level.
He's had an important experience going abroad and playing. For me, around the camp, all season his contribution has been really high and without his save in Slovenia we'd be worse off in the group as well," he added.
