MANCHESTER, England -- Manchester City has completed the signing of goalkeeper Claudio Bravo from Barcelona for 13.75 million pounds ($18.2 million) in a move that could spell the end of Joe Harts decade-long career at the English club.City announced the arrival of the 33-year-old Chile international on Thursday on a four-year deal.City manager Pep Guardiola likes his goalkeepers to be good with their feet so they can build up play from the back, explaining his move for Bravo and his decision to drop Hart at the start of this season.I have followed Citys progress in recent years and obviously know some of my new team-mates from the Copa America, Bravo told the clubs website.It is not easy to leave a club like Barcelona where I had two fantastic years, but the opportunity to work with Pep Guardiola was too good to refuse.Bravo played for Colo Colo in his native Chile until 2006, when he joined Spains Real Sociedad on the recommendation of Xabier Mancisidor, who is now Citys goalkeeping coach.He has experience and great leadership qualities and is in the prime of his life, Guardiola said. He is a goalkeeper I have admired for a number of years and Im really happy he is now a City player.Hart is Englands first-choice goalkeeper and has been a regular for City since 2010, but has been told by Guardiola that he can join another club. Willy Caballero has started ahead of Hart for Citys first two games in the Premier League.Hart played in Citys 1-0 win over Steaua Bucharest in the Champions League playoffs on Wednesday.He was given a rousing reception by City fans and appeared emotional during and at the end of what could have been his last game for the club.Speaking afterward, Hart said: We have a top manager that the club has wanted a long, long time, and hes going to have his opinion on things.Its a place I love to be, he added. But situations occur in football. Were men, we get on with it. Morris Claiborne Super Bowl Jersey .

SEATTLE -- Washington middle linebacker Azeem Victor is expected to miss the rest of the season after undergoing surgery for a broken lower right leg, coach Chris Petersen announced Monday, the second major injury loss for the Huskies defense in recent weeks.There is no timeline yet for Victors recovery but the expectation is the junior wont be back this season. Petersen was noncommittal when asked if there was any chance Victor could recover in time for a bowl game.Its OK. Its not going to be a real long-term thing, Petersen said. Its a bone and those things will heal quickly. I dont know exactly what the timeline is but its probably as good as it could be in terms of all those things.Victor was injured in the second quarter of No. 7 Washingtons 26-13 loss to Southern California on Saturday. Victor was in on the tackle of USCs Justin Davis on a running play, but immediately came up hobbling. He was on the field for several minutes getting tended to by medical personnel, who put an air cast on Victors leg on the field before he was taken off on a cart.Victor leads Washington with 68 tackles this season. He was regarded as a potential second-day pick in the NFL draft if he left after his junior season.So really when it was all said and done it was probably more positive than we were first thinking, Petersen said. Sometimes when you go into surgery and all that its all this kind of stuff but it was pretty straightforward from what I understand.Its the second major loss for the Huskies on that side of the ball after sack leader Joe Mathis underwent surgery earliier this month for a foot injury.dddddddddddd. Mathis is also expected to be out for the season, although The Seattle Times reported last week that Mathis is hopeful of possibly being able to return for a bowl game.Petersen joked Monday that no team other than Alabama could have the depth on the roster to withstand losing two top defensive players and not have any drop off.I dont know if anyone does that. Maybe Alabama. I dont know, he said. I think every coach in America, for the most part, you get a really good player, you lose them, you might have a really good young player but theyre just not there. I dont know if you ever get there.Redshirt freshman D.J. Beavers is listed as the starter with Victor out. Beavers stepped in after Victors injury on Saturday and finished with six tackles. But he also had some of his inexperience exposed by USC.Linebacker is one area where Washington still lacks experienced depth. Along with Beavers, the other options appear to be freshman Brandon Wellington and sophomore Ben Burr-Kirven.I think he filled in pretty well, Petersen said of Beavers. He made some tackles, played aggressive, played tough. Its hard when you lose a player like Azeem for sure but its not like `We have no chance type thing. He was right there playing physical like a linebacker should. Hes had a lot of good reps throughout the season and now hes going to have a lot more.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
