Joe Hart says his omission from England's final squad for the World Cup has been "hard to take".
The 31-year-old was overlooked by boss Gareth Southgate for the final 23-man group, with Jordan Pickford, Jack Butland and Nick Pope the three goalkeepers included, while Tom Heaton is on the standby list.
Writing on his official Instagram page on Friday, he said: "Not going to lie, I'm gutted. After two years of trying to make the most of a really tough situation, this is hard to take.
"I'm proud to have put in the graft and play every minute to qualify with the team and have a really important input in that outcome. I know what I bring to the team, but it is what it is.
"Good luck to the team out there, the players know that even though I won't be there, I will have my England shirt on as a fan this time and supporting all the way.
"No fear, go and smash it."
Having found himself surplus to Pep Guardiola's requirements after the Catalan's appointment as Manchester City manager, Hart spent 2016-17 on loan at Torino, where he committed a handful of high-profile mistakes.
