McLeish: Hart ready for England

27 February 2010 12:25
The 22-year-old, on loan from Manchester City, has been in superb form for Birmingham this season.[LNB]Hart, who has one cap to his name, is widely expected to be named in Fabio Capello's squad for their friendly with Egypt on 3 March.[LNB]"It's all there for him and it certainly looks as though he could be on the plane to the World Cup," said McLeish.[LNB]"And if he makes a sufficient push and Capello plays him in the Egypt game and the rest of the warm-ups then he has an outside chance of playing in South Africa.[LNB]"It would be good to see Joe getting a crack because he has been excellent for us.[LNB]"He's a superb keeper and he has improved no end since he came to the club.[LNB]"He's a guy who works hard and has ironed out his rough edges.[LNB]"It's not cut and dried though.[LNB]"The most experienced goalkeeper is David James and I'm sure Capello will stick with experience for the World Cup.[LNB]"But Joe can cope with all the scrutiny. I think he's got the temperament for it."[LNB][LNB] World Cup Outright - Cash Back if England win. Click here to bet.
