West Ham boss David Moyes reveals Joe Hart will start against Burnley after slamming Adrian
The 30-year-old England international has not featured since 27 January but will replace Adrian after the Spaniard conceded eight goals in two matches
WEST HAM boss David boss confirms Joe Hart “will start” against Burnley on Saturday.
The England international, 30, has not featured since 27 January but will replace Adrian after the Spaniard conceded eight goals in two matches.
Adrian, 31, has played Hammers’ last 15 league games, conceding 24 goals, having replaced Hart in late November.
The Premier League winner has only featured in cup competitions since.
Moyes said: “I’ve said all along, Joe’s been good, and I’ve got competition in some places so you have to play well.
“There’s big pressure if you don’t perform. Am I happy with the goals we conceded? No I’m not.
“If I thought there were no mistakes or no problems I wouldn’t have made any changes.”
With the England squad for friendly matches with the Netherlands and Italy set to be named soon, and the 2018 FIFA World Cup finals in Russia just three months away, Hart’s recall will also boost his international prospects.
Hart has 75 caps and has been in squads at four major tournaments – World Cups in 2010 and 2014, and European Championships in 2012 and 2016.
