Hart, who has 63 caps for England, is yet to make an
appearance for Manchester City this season and, according to
British media reports, has been told by new manager Pep
Guardiola that he is free to leave if he wants.
The 29-year-old Hart's future at the club was thrown further
into doubt after Spanish champions Barcelona said on Saturday
they had reached the 'beginning of an agreement' with City over
the transfer of their goalkeeper Claudio Bravo.
"He will be in the squad definitely. What we will do, I won't
know until I speak to Joe and that will be the same for most of
the players," Allardyce told British media.
"I want to know what frame of mind they are in and make the
right selection for Slovakia away."
Everton, Sevilla and German side Borussia Dortmund have all
expressed interest in Hart, according to British media reports.
The opening Group F qualifier for the 2018 World Cup is
England's first game under Allardyce, who was appointed after
Roy Hodgson quit following the team's defeat by Iceland in the
last 16 of Euro 2016 in June.
Allardyce will name his squad on Sunday for the clash against
Slovakia on Sept. 4. (Reporting by Shravanth Vijayakumar in
