West Ham United lost 4-1 at Swansea City on Saturday afternoon.

Pundit Jamie Redknapp has told the Daily Mail that he thinks West Ham United will recall Joe Hart to their starting line-up against Burnley this weekend.

The Hammers endured a disastrous Saturday afternoon, as they travelled down to South Wales to take on Swansea City, and came back empty handed after a 4-1 defeat.

Michail Antonio’s late consolation couldn’t mask West Ham’s nightmare performance, and they now lie just three points clear of the relegation zone once again.

David Moyes needs to get West Ham back on track quickly to avoid the drop, and he will have big decisions to make ahead of this weekend’s visit of Burnley.

Some players may be dropped after the torrid display at Swansea, and goalkeeper Adrian San Miguel may be at risk of losing his place in Moyes’ side after a poor performance.

That could mean a recall to the side for Joe Hart, who hasn’t featured in a Premier League game since the 4-0 defeat at Everton back in November, with the Manchester City loanee becoming something of a forgotten man under Moyes.

Whilst Hart has been England’s first-choice goalkeeper in recent years, he now looks set to lose his spot ahead of the World Cup having barely featured for West Ham this term.

Now, pundit Jamie Redknapp has told the Daily Mail that he thinks Hart will return to West Ham’s starting line-up against Burnley this weekend, and will be looking to kick on and push to claim his spot in the England side for the World Cup.

“Adrian’s poor performance in West Ham’s 4-1 defeat at Swansea gives Gareth Southgate another headache over the England No 1 shirt,” said Redknapp. “I can see Joe Hart returning to David Moyes’ starting XI against Burnley on Saturday and that will give the England manager another goalkeeper to consider for the World Cup.”

“I’ve argued that Southgate should make Stoke’s Jack Butland his No 1 and he had a great game at Southampton. But with no English keeper head and shoulders above the rest, Hart will fancy his chances,” he added.
