A report in the Daily Mail this morning states that Joe Hart will go into Monday night’s trip to Ewood Park as a doubt after breaking down with a back injury in training.
Hart reportedly missed a session with the City squad at their Carrington training centre on Wednesday afternoon “after his back seized up midway through the session”.
The City keeper has been troubled by back spasms earlier in the season and his situation will now need monitoring over the weekend. With Shay Given still sidelined with a long-term shoulder problem, Roberto Mancini would be forced to turn to Stuart Taylor for the Blackburn Rovers clash.
Hart was ranked at the top of our goalkeeper rankings in the Watchlist. We’ve now indicated his injury risk and Hart has subsequently dropped down the rankings until we know more on the injury.
