By AFPMore by this AuthorCROISSY-SUR-SEINETom Heaton of Burnley will replace Joe Hart in goal for England in Tuesday's friendly against France in Paris, manager Gareth Southgate has confirmed. The 31-year-old Heaton will win his third international cap in the match at the Stade de France, as Hart — criticised following his performance in Saturday's 2-2 draw against Scotland — is left out. "It was never my intention to start Hart in this game. Tom Heaton will start and Jack Butland will play the second half," Southgate told reporters after England trained in the leafy Parisian suburb of Croissy-sur-Seine on Monday. After Tuesday's game, England are next in action in early September with a World Cup qualifying double-header against Malta and Slovakia.
