Manchester City manager refuses to confirm if Joe Hart will start in goal
Manuel Pellegrini is keeping his cards close to his chest over whether Joe Hart will retain his place in Manchester City's
Premier League line-up for Saturday's home clash against Norwich City.
Hart was replaced by City reserve goalkeeper Costel Pantilimon for the 2-0 midweek Capital One Cup victory over
Newcastle after a costly error against Chelsea last weekend.
And the Chilean suggested the England number one would be treated like any other player after
refused to confirm
he will start in goal for this weekend's game at the Etihad.Tomorrow you will know the answer," Pellegrini said. "It is a decision I have to take every week with 22 players of the team."
Pantilimon produced an eye-catching display in Wednesday's game against Newcastle to put him firmly in contention
for his first Premier League start this weekend.Pellegrini refused to be drawn on how disappointed Hart was not to feature in the game as City look to preserve their 100% record at home -
a run which has seen them notch 13 goals in their opening four league matches.
"You must ask Joe - I can't answer for him how disappointed he was," Pellegrini told reporters."All of you, and the players, and me all saw what happened.
But he is a football player and every week he is under the same pressure."I am always careful with all the players, not only Joe."
