Chelsea forward Raheem Sterling has not been in England’s last two squads and was not drafted in when Bukayo Saka had to withdraw through injury on Monday night
Raheem Sterling does not see his latest England omission as a snub. In fact, Sterling is determined to fight for his place despite the fierce competition in his position at international level.
England boss Southgate has often left tried and trusted senior players out in the past - and still recalled them because he knows he can rely on them. Kyle Walker being a classic example. The Manchester City defender appeared out in the cold, even wanted to quit England twice - and has now never been more important for Southgate.
Sterling has made a habit of thriving on pressure, competition and even doubt because he seems to be at his best when people do doubt him as a player.
