Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola says he will not be looking to replace either Claudio Bravo or Willy Caballero this summer

Pep Guardiola says he is "so happy" with his Manchester City goalkeepers Willy Caballero and Claudio Bravo, and will discuss Joe Hart's situation with him in the summer.

Caballero is back in favour following some worrying performances from Bravo, having been second choice behind the Chilean for much of the season.

Although the 35-year-old Argentine is out of contract in the summer, the manager's comments seem to suggest there is no way back for Joe Hart.

The England keeper was loaned out to Italian club Torino early in the season and, when asked whether this season's goalkeeping situation had changed his opinion on Hart, Guardiola said: "I'm so happy with Willy and Claudio."

Asked if Hart may need to find a new permanent club for 2017/18, Guardiola added: "We are going to talk about it at the end of the season.

"I trust a lot in both [Caballero and Bravo] and we'll decide.
