Joe Hart so happy and relaxed in England training after shock Torino loan deal erases the strain of his Manchester City pain

BEAMING keeper Joe Hart looked like a man with his mojo back and the pressure gone as he returned to England training after jetting to Italy to seal a quickfire loan switch to Torino.

The Manchester City fans' favourite  followed his wobbly Euro 2016 by dropping to third-choice Etihad stopper this season under new chief Pep Guardiola.

But Hart looked to have the biggest smile in Sam Allardyce's first Three Lions' squad as he trained for Sunday's opening World Cup qualifier in Slovakia.

Fraser Forster's injury means Hart, 29, should retain his starting place.

And he was straight back in the groove alongside skipper Wayne Rooney and Co as Allardyce - known for meticulous planning - took his big-match preparation into the final stages.

Hart faced being City's third-choice keeper for the rest of the term.

Guardiola opened his Premier League managerial career by handing Argentine veteran Willy Caballero the No 1 jersey.

Then just before the transfer deadline the Spaniard paid £17million for Barcelona's Chile keeper  Claudio Bravo.

Sunderland were among Hart's most ardent Prem admirers but he believes he can learn more in Italy because of their tradition of fine goalkeepers.

Nothing underlined that more than Tuesday night, when 17-year-old Gianluigi Donnarumma became the Azzurri's youngest international for 105 years.

The Juventus stopper came on for all-time great Gianluigi Buffon, 38, during the 3-1 friendly loss to France in Bari.

Meanwhile, Hart knows much-feted Stoke keeper Jack Butland should be fit within two months.

Pundits have been queuing up to endorse Butland, 23, since Hart slipped up for a couple of goals as the Three Lions exited the Euros at the last 16, losing 2-1 to Iceland.

No-one, though, has criticised Hart's commitment and professionalism.

So it was typical to see him looking as relaxed and focused as ever with his 22 England squad-mates - following a brief trip to Turin that might just save both his season and England career.
