Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has confirmed Joe Hart will return to his starting line-up for Wednesday's Champions League game with Viktoria Plzen.
Pellegrini has preferred Costel Pantilimon to the England international in the last month, with Hart dropped after his last-minute mistake allowed Fernando Torres to score the winner in City's 2-1 defeat to Chelsea on 27 October.
Romania keeper Pantilimon has performed well in his place and kept his third clean sheet in five outings as City thrashed Tottenham 6-0 on Sunday.
But speaking after the game at the Etihad Stadium, Pellegrini made it clear Hart would return against the Czech side.
