Joe Hart has not featured in either of West Ham United’s last two matches.

Stuart Pearce has told the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast, which was broadcast on TalkSPORT on 11th December, that Joe Hart is disappointed to lose his place in West Ham United’s goal.

West Ham stopper Hart has missed out on playing in the London side’s last two matches, with Adrian impressing.

Adrian came in to West Ham’s team against Manchester City, and the Spaniard caught the eye.

Although Adrian was unable to stop West Ham from falling to a defeat against City, he did retain his place this weekend, when David Moyes’ side took on Chelsea.

And Moyes’ decision was vindicated, as Adrian kept a clean-sheet in a 1-0 victory over Antonio Conte’s side.

Hart now appears to face a big fight to win his place back in goal at West Ham.

And Pearce admits that the England international has been very professional since being taken out of Moyes’ starting line-up.

“He’s disappointed that he’s not been playing, but you know the nature of this game,” Pearce said.

“If someone plays well they might keep the shirt. Joe is acutely aware that he has to fight for his place, and he’ll do that.”

Hart knows there is pressure on him to win his place back in West Ham’s side, as he will need to be starting to make it to the World Cup with England.

Hart has been England’s number one for years now, but his place in Gareth Southgate’s squad is now in serious jeopardy.
