Hart set to start for England tonight

Tom Huddlestone

Joe Hart is expected to start between the sticks tonight in England last game on home soil before heading to the World Cup.

Capello’s side return to London today for their first friendly ahead of the South Africa finals after spending a week in Austria acclimatising to conditions akin to what they will experience next month.

blog.great-save.com sources beleive that Robert Green is slipping down the pecking order and not a dead surt to be the England number one for the World Cup, it’s expected that James could well be that man.

Capello already having several injury concerns heading into South Africa, the Italian will be desperate for his players to come through unscathed as he gets his first chance to assess his 30-man squad before cutting it down to 23 next week.

West Ham’s Robert Green, who has been the Italian’s first choice for the majority of his tenure as manager. David James will have to wait until the Japan friendly to stake his claim for the No.1 jersey as Hart looks set for a start between the sticks this evening.
