Joe Hart and Sam Allardyce
England manager Sam Allardyce says Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart will be part of the England squad travelling to take on Slovakia in their first World Cup qualifier.


Hart, who has 63 caps for England, is yet to make an appearance for City this season and has been told by new manager Pep Guardiola he is free to leave if he wants.
“He will be in the squad definitely. What we will do, I won’t know until I speak to Joe and that will be the same for most of the players,” Allardyce told British media.
“I want to know what frame of mind they are in and make the right selection for Slovakia away.”
The 29-year-old Hart’s future at the club was thrown further into doubt after Barcelona said they had reached the ‘beginning of an agreement’ with City over the transfer of their goalkeeper Claudio Bravo.
The September 4, 2018 World Cup qualifier is England’s first game under Allardyce.
