Joe Hart to fight for Man City place despite tension with Pep Guardiola - Sky sources

Joe Hart was dropped for Man City's opening win over Sunderland

Joe Hart is willing to fight for his place at Manchester City but there is already tension between him and new manager Pep Guardiola, according to Sky sources.

The 29-year-old England number one was dropped from City's Premier League opener with Sunderland on Saturday because of this tension, Sky sources understand.

Hart, who is thought to be unhappy about the situation, was replaced with Willy Caballero and the match has been followed by reports in the English media that City are trying to sign Barcelona's Chilean goalkeeper Claudio Bravo.

Hart endured a difficult Euro 2016 with the national team, at fault for one goal in particular in the group stage, but a source has told Sky Sports News HQ that Hart feels Manchester City is his club and it remains where he wants to be.

Ahead of City's 2-1 victory at the Etihad Stadium, Guardiola was less than reassuring about Hart's future, stating it was not the time to talk about the keeper.

After the game Guardiola said he has" a lot of respect for Joe" but refused to shut the door on his City career.

Guardiola insisted Willy Caballero was worthy of his pick against Sunderland

"I think Willy had a good pre-season - really, really good," Guardiola said. "He gave me today a lot of confidence for his build-up play, for his personality and that's why I choose him.

"In the end, I have a squad and I decide what I see. I have to create a team spirit. It's not about tactics, it's not about anything, and I decided today for this line-up.

"That does not mean in the future they are not going to play or they are going to play."
