Joe Hart part of Manchester City's pre-season tour squad?

Joe Hart will reportedly be included as part of the Manchester City squad that will fly out to the United States later today.

The 31-year-old's time at the Etihad Stadium appeared to be over following back-to-back seasons out on loan with Torino and West Ham United.

Hart was frozen out by Pep Guardiola upon the Catalan's arrival two years ago and has since lost his place in the England setup, viewed as no more than fourth choice.

According to the Daily Mail, however, City will take the former Shrewsbury Town keeper to the USA for friendlies against Borussia Dortmund, Liverpool and Bayern Munich.

The Premier League champions will travel to Chicago, while also taking in New York and Miami over the next fortnight.
