Southgate is ready to bring in Jack Butland for Tuesday's friendly with France in Paris, and the 24-year-old Stoke keeper is seen as his potential long-term No1.
Southgate said: “Our intention was always to give someone else a game - and, however that looks, I will have to ride that out.
“I am seeing a headline that says 'Hart is not safe'... but we need competition. Who knows who will be fit and available? Too many times we have got to a tournament when a key player is not fully fit."
