Hart needs a rest says Manchester City manager
England goalkeeper Joe Hart
paid the price for a series of recent errors
when Manchester City manager Manuel
Pellegrini left him out of the team for their
Premier League match against Norwich City
on Saturday.
Romanian understudy Costel Pantilimon,
who played in the 2-0 League Cup win over
Newcastle United on Wednesday, retained
his place in the starting lineup for his first
Premier League appearance and kept a
clean sheet in a 7-0 victory.
"My duty is to see every week who is the
best player to play," Pellegrini was quoted
as saying on the City website
(www.mcfc.co.uk).
"Joe needed a rest, it will be useful for him
- he's played every match for two years.
Every player can have a bad moment.
"I only know that Joe must work very hard
and he will have all of the support of me
and the goalkeeper coach and the team. He
is England's goalkeeper and I think he will
be back.
"I am sure he will return to his normal
performance."
Hart's run of errors continued last Sunday
when he was involved in a mix-up with
defender Matija Nastasic that allowed
Fernando Torres to score a late goal and
give Chelsea a 2-1 win over City at Stamford
Bridge.
Pantilimon's only appearances for City last
season and this had been in cup matches
before Saturday.
