Paper Round: Hart's City career over

Joe Hart is never, ever getting back together with Manchester City, say the Sunday Express. His feelings have been too hurt by Pep Guardiola - and he now accepts his City career is over.

Paper Round's view: It's sweet that Hart is reclaiming some face to make it look like this is his choice. It seemed fairly obvious that Guardiola didn't want him at the Etihad, and Hart's comments on joining Torino on loan seemed to reflect that. Good attempt to reclaim the narrative, and to remind everyone that he's looking for a new employer.

Former Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini has confirmed that nobody has contacted him regarding the England manager's job, according to the Sunday Express. That leaves the way open for Gareth Southgate to take the role permanently, they add.

Paper Round's view: Mancini was careful to specify that he was not in talks with the FA "at the moment". That's not an outright denial that he has been in talks or that he might be in the near future. Southgate has a few more games on a caretaker basis before any decisions are made by any parties.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is insistent that he is not jealous of the endless reserves of cash at the disposal of the likes of Jose Mourinho. That's according to the Star on Sunday, who report that Klopp reiterated that he has been entirely happy with the purchases he's made over the summer, and is content to leave the bigger spenders to it.

Paper Round's view: Of course he's not jealous. Have you looked at the league table lately?

Chris Robshaw says all the England players are supporting Eddie Jones, reports the Star on Sunday - and he's not to blame for the flurry of injuries suffered in the squad.

Paper Round's view: Robshaw is adamant that players' desperation to be part of the squad is pushing them to their physical limits - not the training regime imposed by the head coach. Competition and commitment to the cause are both, obviously, crucial - but perhaps the coach needs to step in and adjust the camp's mindset before even more knocks spread throughout the squad.
