Joe Hart set for 10-day hamstring injury absence

Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart may be out for 10 days after suffering a hamstring injury in the midweek Champions League

defeat at Juventus.

The England international, 28, is expected to miss two league games and Tuesday's League Cup quarter-final.

"It is not serious but a muscle injury – so it is important to recover well," City boss Manuel Pellegrini said.

City are without the injured Vincent Kompany, Eliaquim Mangala, Pablo Zabaleta and Samir Nasri.

Argentine Willy Caballero replaced Hart in Turin on Wednesday and is set to deputise

against Southampton

at the Etihad on Saturday.

Caballero, 34, has only made one league appearance for City this term, when they were

beaten 4-1 by Tottenham

at White Hart Lane.

Hart has kept seven Premier League clean sheets this season and Pellegrini said: "We lost Joe in a very good moment but it is what happens.

"I trust a lot in Willy Caballero. I am sure he will have a good performance in these games."
