Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has his say on Real Madrid keeper Iker Casillas after his continued absence from the Spanish side.

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini has had his say on Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas after his continued absence from the Spanish side.

Casillas is yet to start a La Liga game this season, with Diego Lopez being preferred between the sticks..

Pellegrini told Marca: "I find his situation at Madrid a strange one. I know Diego Lopez is a great keeper. I had him when I was at Villarreal and he was superb for us.

"Casillas would do well anywhere, no league is too challenging for Iker Casillas. He has been a regular at Madrid for 12-14 years."

City have had their own problems with goalkeepers this season, with Joe Hart dropped for a few months earlier in the season following a dip in form.
