Man City keeper Hart not taking England place for granted

Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart isn't taking his England place for granted.

Four years after being third-choice, he is now undisputed number one and intent on keeping it that way by helping the Three Lions enjoy a successful summer.

"I am really enjoying what I am doing and really enjoy the opportunities that are coming my way," Hart said, speaking ahead of Saturday's Group D opener against Italy.

"I am well aware that can change really quickly as I am with two sides they can pick from any goalkeeper they want.

"England have got an amazing array of goalkeepers. We've got two here alongside me, who I think any team around the world would want.

"Obviously at Manchester City they are capable of buying or bringing in whoever they want, whoever they need to.

"I've got to be at my best, I've got to be working hard and you've got to stay level-headed otherwise it can go wrong."
