Joe Hart Out Of England Friendly

Joe Hart is out of England's friendly match with France tonight after suffering a back injury during training yesterday.

It was hoped that the Manchester United goalkeeper would be fine for the match at Wembley but he has been sent home to receive treatment.

Hart has been Capello's number one keeper since the World Cup but left training in agony yesterday and was unable to walk properly.

Sadly the problem has not subsided overnight and he has been replaced by Birmingham's Ben Foster and there are questions whether Hart will recover in time for City's clash with Fulham at the weekend.

And it's not certain if Andy Carroll would be in the starting line-up after Newcastle United voiced their concern about his groin strain.

Newcastle's star striker picked up a groin problem at the weekend and while the twenty one year old is desperate to make his debut the club are concerned about his fitness.

But Carroll did have a scan when he joined England earlier this week and was cleared to train with the national side.

Newcastle emailed the Football Association yesterday voicing their concern over him playing in the match.

Fabio Capello is fielding a young squad tonight as Carroll , should he play, and Jordan Henderson are both making their debut while Kieran Gibbs is picking up a second cap.
