Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola says Joe Hart could feature against Steaua Bucharest on Wednesday night.
England goalkeeper Hart has not played in a competitive game for City this season, with newly-installed boss Guardiola opting for Willy Caballero.
And, with Claudio Bravo poised to join City after arriving in Manchester on Tuesday, it has been speculated that Hart may be set to leave the club.
The 29-year-old could feature at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday though, when City will be expected to cruise into the Champions League group stages after winning the playoff first-leg tie 5-0 in Romania last week.
"Yes, he has a chance to play tomorrow," confirmed Guardiola.
"I don't know (if it will be Hart's last game for City). I have said many times. Until the 31st of this month, all the players here are our players, my players, I work with them like there is no end.
"After, we will speak. The situation with Joe, I think I have spoken clearly about in the last two press conferences."
Asked if any clubs had enquired about Hart, Guardiola said: "I am not able to speak, because I don't know what is going on."
Guardiola was captured on camera speaking to Hart in an animated fashion during training but rubbished the idea that there is any rift between the duo.
"I have an excellent relationship with Joe," said Guardiola. "We are clear. Him with me, I with him. We spoke about football."
Barcelona goalkeeper Bravo arrived in Manchester on Tuesday for a medical ahead of his planned move.
And Guardiola said: "I cannot deny what everyone knows. Barcelona were the first ones who announced contact with Manchester City.
"But I am sorry guys. When the deal is complete or not complete, after that, I will be open to answer about one player.
"At the moment, he is not our player."
