Widespread speculation this afternoon has claimed that Joe Hart will not be a part of the England squad for this summer's World Cup, seemingly securing a place on the plane to Russian Federation for Wicken's Nick Pope.

Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope is being tipped to usurp Hart, joining Everton's Jordan Pickford and Stoke City's Jack Butland on the plane.

With 75 caps, Hart was expected to be the most experienced member of Southgate's travelling party, but his omission could leave England without a player boasting over 40 caps.

On Tuesday, Matt Hughes, had an update in The Times, insinuating that Gareth Southgate had already named 19 men out of the 23 in his England squad.

Hart was England's No.1 in Brazil four years ago but won't be travelling to Russian Federation this summer.

England last year won both the under-20 and under-17 versions of the World Cup, and Lineker said there is "no question" that the national team will be challenging for senior titles in the coming years.

Since Pep Guardiola took over the reigns at Manchester City, and the Spaniard's desire for a goalkeeper who can play from the back with his feet, Hart has been shipped out to first Torino, and then this season to West Ham.
