Joe Hart has completed a season's loan to Torino and is travelling back to join up with the England squad again.

The out-of-favour Manchester City keeper flew out to Turin yesterday for a medical and to complete the deal, after being given special permission by the FA to leave England's training camp.

The deal is expected to see City continue to pay a large slice of his wages.
Hart was replaced in the City team by Willy Caballero in a shock move by manager Pep Guardiola at the start of the season, the new boss making it plain he wanted a keeper with better footwork.

And last week Guardiola moved for a more permanent replacement by picking up Claudio Bravo from Barcelona for £13.75million.

Bravo is lined up for his City debut in the Manchester derby a week on Saturday, while Hart is expected to make his Torino debut the following day at Atalanta.
