Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart is reportedly in line to return to action in time for the club's Champions League quarter-final first leg against Paris Saint-Germain on April 6.

The England number one suffered a calf injury while trying to reach a poor backpass from Martin Demichelis early in the second half of City's 1-0 defeat to local rivals Manchester United last Sunday.

Manager Manuel Pellegrini suggested that Hart would be sidelined for one month, but according to The Guardian, the player himself is hopeful of being fit for the trip to Parc des Princes in two weeks' time.

Willy Caballero will stand in while Hart is on the treatment table.
